You can visit a lactation consultant even before you have your baby to get their advice and input. The lactation consultant can also help right after the birth of your newborn and up until the baby is several months old.

Your lymphatic system is responsible for helping your body flush out toxins. If you’ve had surgery on your lymph nodes, you may experience a buildup of waste fluids called lymphedema.

Do I need a lactation massager? If you’ve had breast cancer or surgery on your breasts, you may want to be careful around any lumps, scars, or areas that have recently received radiation. In these cases, it may be best to seek breast massage from a licensed massage therapist.Sometimes using a lactation massager does hurt if you have particularly tender and painful breasts. If you try using your massager and it’s painful, hold off and try stimulating your flow using hot compresses and other methods that do not include vibration. If lactation massage won’t increase milk production, what can I do? Yes, there are other options for dealing with clogged milk ducts and other breastfeeding issues beyond buying a new lactation massager. Some doctors may recommend using an item with a similar vibrating function (you might have one in your bedside table) to replicate the function of a lactation massager, but you don’t have to use vibration at all to unclog milk ducts if you don’t want to. In fact, some mothers may even find that the vibration is painful for clogged milk ducts (especially if you’re dealing with mastitis). We like that this lactation massager has five different vibration settings so that you can adjust it to your particular comfort level. Nursing mothers also praise its soft silicone surface and its adjustable heat function.
