Below are some solutions for women’s postpartum sagging breasts compiled by the editor. Let’s take a look at them together!

What to do if your breasts sag after childbirth

1. Insist on wearing a bra. You should insist on wearing a bra from the beginning of breastfeeding period. If you don't wear a bra, your breasts will sag noticeably due to the added weight. Especially when the breasts are shaken violently while working or walking, the sagging will be more obvious. Wearing a bra can support and hold the breasts, which can improve blood circulation in the breasts, promote milk secretion and enhance the breasts' resistance to disease, and can also protect the nipples from abrasions and scratches. When wearing a bra, choose a style that is the right size and has a steel support. After putting it on, adjust it and use both hands to gather the fat around the breasts into the bra to make the breasts look fuller and more upright.

2. Correct breastfeeding during breastfeeding. During the breastfeeding period, the mother should adopt the correct breastfeeding method and feed the baby alternately from the two breasts. When the baby only eats from one breast, the mother should use a breast pump to empty the other breast to keep the size of the breasts on both sides symmetrical. At the same time, do not let the baby pull on the nipple when feeding. During breastfeeding, mastitis should be avoided.

3. Massage your breasts frequently. Before going to bed or getting up every night, mothers can lie in bed and massage themselves. Put the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of one hand together and place them on the opposite breast. With the nipple as the center, make circles clockwise from the outer edge of the breast to the inside. Do this 10 times for each breast. This massage can promote local blood circulation, increase nutrition supply to the breasts, and facilitate the secretion of estrogen.
