Breast Caring during Pregnancy
Posted on February 11th, 2008 by medicalquestions
Question: What kind of care do breasts need during pregnancy?
Care of breasts and nipples must begin during pregnancy in order to facilitate sucking. Clothes (especially brassieres and blouses) should be neither too tight nor too loose. If the nipples lie embedded within the breast, draw them out by massaging gently with the fingers. Vaseline may be applied. This makes it easy for the newborn child to suck. Any disease afflicting the breasts or skin (eg. eruptions) should be treated before the child is born.
