Indications for massage nipples of the female breast
Even in the period of preparation for pregnancy, it is desirable for a woman to pay attention to the state of her mammary glands and the appearance of her nipples. The fact is that the size and shape of the breast does not matter for lactation , but the shape of the nipple has a significant effect on the process of feeding the baby. The optimal is a nipple of elongated shape (convex), which the newborn will easily grab to extract milk from the breast.
But if the breasts have flat nipples or are entangled, the baby may be uncomfortable taking the mammary gland in the mouth, and in some cases it is impossible. Such breasts should be prepared for lactation. For this, women wear special shaping pads, which, due to the vacuum, help to draw the nipple.
Significant progress in the design of a normal nipple allows you to achieve a special massage.
