Other than psychological maybe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-massage#post-49515 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:50:53 +0000 SugarplumsMom 49515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, that's what I thought. I didn't think women massaged beforehand, at least I have never heard of it. </p> <p>Has anyone else tried massaging pre-baby? Has it helped? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-massage#post-49200 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:28:06 +0000 pelikila 49200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do massage pre-baby but before and during pumping and sometimes during nursing I would massage to get or keep the milk flowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-massage#post-49195 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:20:38 +0000 chopsuey 49195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hurm... I may have massaged my breasts but can't remember.<br /> I did and still do massage my breasts while I'm breastfeeding though. It helps to keep things flowing. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-massage#post-49143 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 06:59:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 49143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was talking to a friend today and she was giving me pregnancy tips, one thing she said was to make sure to massage my breasts, every morning and night. It's supposed to help make it easier to breastfeed later. Has anyone ever heard of this?</p> <p>I Googled it and found this video on YouTube: <a href="http://youtu.be/bLu8EuY8Jko" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/bLu8EuY8Jko</a> So it can't be so uncommon. How come I've never heard of this before? </p>
