Methods of breast massage for pregnant women.

1. Breast massage

1. Apply hot compress.

2. Place your left hand on your right breast, fold your right hand over your left hand, and apply force toward the center of the chest. Use the same method to massage the other breast.

3. Put your fingers together and gently lift your chest at the lower side to allow the breasts to vibrate up and down, then continue to do pushing massage upwards.

The massage intensity should be appropriately controlled, not too light, and strong enough to separate the breast tissue from the pectoralis major muscle, but not too strong to avoid injuring the breast.

2. Nipple massage

1. After cleaning your hands, use soapy water to scrub the area around the nipple along the areola to the clavicle and the edges of both sides of the chest. When cleaning the nipples, avoid contact with soapy water to prevent alkaline corrosion of nipple oils. In addition, use clean water to wash off the scabs on the nipples.

2. After basic care, place your middle and index fingers under the breasts, push upward from bottom to top, and then rub the nipples to achieve a firming effect.

The number and frequency of massage should be maintained at 2 times a day, 20 times each time. You can also use a comb with smooth teeth instead of your hands to massage. It is worth noting that it is not suitable to do a lot of this kind of massage in the second half of pregnancy. You can learn breast care knowledge in advance. For nipples that are too short or inverted, you can use a pulling technique, mainly during bathing or before bed, and last for 2 to 3 minutes. The strength should also be moderate, and the massage should be done without causing pain.
