Breast Care

Pregnancy and breastfeeding, both are the wonderful experience for a woman. They give the feeling of satisfaction and completeness to the woman. But breast care is important during pregnancy and lactation in order to keep it healthy.

It's important to take good care of your breasts while breastfeeding so that the process is as enjoyable for you as it is for your baby. When your breasts are not in good health, breastfeeding can be painful or impossible. Follow these tips for breastfeeding success.

Breast Care During Pregnancy and after Delivery :
    •    Invest in a good supportive bra that can handle the increasing breast size. Avoid underwire bras, as under wires can put pressure on milk glands and interfere with milk production.
    •    Wear a maternity sleep bra that ensures adequate breast support at night.
    •    Colostrum discharge can be managed by using breast pads in the bra. Select from reusable and disposable varieties available at stores. Change them several times a day and allow your nipples to air dry each change.
    •    Do not use soap on your nipples, as dry nipples can tear easily. Use a good moisturizer to prevent them from getting dried out.
