Breast preparation for feeding

The more carefully you train your breasts and nipples during pregnancy, the less complications will be in the period of feeding.

Harden the chest.
Daily, making a morning toilet, arrange a contrast shower for the chest, wipe it with a washcloth in a circular motion,( left breast - clockwise, right - against the clock) and the entire surface, from the nipple to the base of the chest. After showering, wipe the breast with a towel.
Visit mammologist.
Especially if you notice yellowish and / or spotting from the nipples, if you suffer from regular aching pain. Or, if the breast increases unevenly, there are hillocks and / or depressions on it. Do not worry if you feel that the skin of your chest itches: the glands grow larger, preparing to produce milk, and stretching skin can itch. In this case, use creams against stretch marks.

Wash your chest with a dry washcloth lightly clockwise, avoiding moles and nipples( at least 50 laps).If the skin on the chest is too tender and does not tolerate dry grinding, you can first wipe it with a damp sponge clockwise( at least 50 times each), and then with a dry towel, while massaging clockwise( also at least 50 times).

Nipples are useful to massage( only if there is no threat of miscarriage!), Greasing them with vitamin E( oily solution), sterile olive, peach or sunflower oil. To do this, a jar of vegetable oil is put on a water bath, previously covered with a sterile double bandage and secured with an elastic band. The sterilized oil should be poured by drops, without removing the bandage. You can also use a baby or massage cream, ointment of calendula.

It is especially important to massage the embroidered, flat nipples, pulling them away from themselves clockwise, gently twitch and tug them - very carefully: 5 minutes a day. Then wash your chest with cold water. Do this every day during the entire pregnancy.

For 3-4 months of pregnancy, buy a pregnant woman's bra for a size larger than your usual. And in the sixth month - one more size more. Buy linen only in stores for pregnant women or in pharmacies. There is at least some guarantee that the linen meets the quality standards and has the necessary degree of support. If the breast is not reliably "secured" during pregnancy, its sagging after childbirth may occur. Do not buy one big bra "to grow".Cups should fit tightly to the skin and support the breast well. Wear special bras in the afternoon, and for sleep wear night bras for pregnant women or special tops.

Inside the bra it is good to put the gaskets on a coarse canvas to massage the nipples simultaneously.

Try to cut a circle in the bra for a better nipple training and pull the nipple through it so that both the breast is in shape and the nipples are "exercised" by rubbing against the clothes.

It is very useful to keep your breasts open daily, especially in the morning sun.

Approximately from 5-6 months of pregnancy, register for courses on preparation for childbirth and natural feeding. Here you will be told everything about lactation and how to overcome lactation crises and milk stagnation. Feeding instinctively only in part, he also needs to learn. And also - be able to teach this child.
