How do you prepare your breasts for breastfeeding?
Pregnant women who wonder how to prepare their breasts during pregnancy almost always do so because, as mothers and/or grandmothers, they hear about habits such as rubbing the nipples during pregnancy.
You may even be advised to harden them or rub them with lemon juice.
Many pregnant moms have heard about the importance of hydrating their legs to optimize their flexibility.
Are these expedients that serve a purpose? The answer is no.
As Dr. Alvisi emphasizes in the video that you can discover here , pregnancy is the best “gym” to prepare the breast for breastfeeding.
When asking questions about breasts during pregnancy and how they change , one must not forget that, in correspondence with the areola of the nipple, there are the Montgomery glands.
The latter have the task of producing a fatty substance which, in turn, performs two functions.
The first is to attract the baby with their smell when it is breastfeeding .
The second, instead, concerns the hydration of the skin and its protection from the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.
