I know, I was skeptical about this too when I learned about this at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayabolman.com\/workshops\">breastfeeding conference<\/a>, but breast gymnastics is the best thing ever I&#8217;ve ever learned for alleviating engorgement, mastitis, and CLOGGED DUCTS!<\/p>\n<p>The term breast gymnastics was coined by IBCLC lactation consultant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayabolman.com\/\">Maya Bolman<\/a>, where you gently (and ever so gently) pick up your breasts and move them around, providing your breast gentle movement.<\/p>\n<p>We all know movement and stretching is important to our health. It helps with our circulation and helps get blood flowing. Well our breasts, which don&#8217;t get any movement at all since they just sit in our bras, need light gentle movement and stretching for proper breast health.<\/p>\n<p>When you pick up your breasts and feel that stretch and move them side to side, you&#8217;re essentially elongating those ducts and getting milk flowing, which prevents and alleviates clogged ducts!<\/p>\n<p><a

You&#8217;re probably told to rest your foot and be very gentle with it. You may be given some ice to help with the inflammation and swelling as well.<\/p>\n<p>Well clogged ducts are when breastmilk clumps together and essentially gets stuck and your milk ducts then swell up causing you pain and tenderness. Why on earth would we want to be rough on that inflamed clog and just cause more swelling? Sure the clog might go away, but what are your chances of it coming back and even affecting your milk supply?<\/p>\n<p>Then we&#8217;re told to put heat on it? Heat on top of inflammation is not good, we want COLD. We want to ICE our inflamed clog to help with the swelling.<\/p>\n<p>Since our breasts are a gland, we need to be gentle with how we handle our breast and practice <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/65196007\">Therapeutic Breast Massage in Lactation (TBML<\/a>).
