Women constantly find flaws in their own appearance. Crooked legs or yellow teeth, pimples on the face or fat on the sides. Short eyelashes, sparse eyebrows, large nose. The list is huge, but the leading position of the shortcomings is taken by the absence of priests and sagging breasts. If the first problem is solved with squats, then the second will have to be fought with all available methods, starting with special diet and ending with the right set of exercises.

Lace and comfort

Force of gravity - main enemy tightened breasts, so women cannot do without bras. Underwear should be not only beautiful, decorated with ruffles and bows, but also practical.

Girls with a small, neat bust can afford thin or silicone straps. For owners of the third size and more, options with wide straps are suitable, which reduce the load on the spine, and better support luxurious shapes.

Selection rules

1. It is better to go to the lingerie store before menstruation, when the mammary glands swell and increase in size.
2. The bra models you like are sure to try them on in order to evaluate how comfortable they are.
3. You should remove or lower the straps, and see: if the bra continues to hold the chest, it a good choice... If it starts to slide down, it is better to try on another option.
4. Two fingers should be placed between the back of the bra and the spine, while the bones do not dig into the mammary glands, or the skin under them.
5. In the right underwear, the breasts fit completely into the cup, do not pinch, do not fall out, and the nipples do not stick out from the outside.
6. The material is soft and pleasant to the touch, does not cause uncomfortable sensations, irritation, or itching.

Important: Do not wear underwear that has bones sticking out of it. If the breasts are regularly damaged or the skin underneath is rubbed, the risk of malignancy increases.

Casual and sporty options
How many bras should a girl have? Minimum 2: one for daily wear and one for gym workouts. Regular bras do not support the bust well enough for jumping, running and other vigorous activities. As a result, the skin stretches and the breasts gradually sag.

How to find the perfect sports top? Give preference to models with:

• wide straps crossed on the back;
• sewn-in foam seals, because removable ones wear out faster;
• elastic supporting bands at the bottom, which fix the mammary glands, but do not pinch.

Gym bras should be made of synthetic materials. Modern fabrics breathe well, do not create a “steam room” effect, but they last longer than the usual cotton varieties.

Models marked "low" are for yoga or meditation. “High” means that the chest will not bounce even while dancing, riding a horse or jumping rope.

Important: You can not walk in a bra for more than 12 hours to avoid stagnation of blood in the mammary glands. After removing your underwear, you should stretch both hemispheres with light stroking movements.

Water procedures

It's nice to soak up a hot foam bath after work, but a contrast shower is more useful for the mammary glands. You can start the morning with dousing with room water, then with cool, and after a few months with ice water. Such procedures improve blood circulation and keep the skin toned.

It is recommended to alternate warm jets with cool ones, directing them from the armpits to the nipples. Such movements help to tighten the bust, and prevent premature stretch marks in the décolleté area. Finish off with cold water. You can wipe the mammary glands with ice cubes, but do it carefully and wisely so as not to catch a cold.

Cosmetics

It is not enough to simply wash the bumps with regular shower gel and a washcloth. To prevent stretch marks and early wrinkles, it is advised to cleanse the skin in the décolleté area with a face scrub every 2 weeks, or to cook it yourself. You can try the strawberry with honey and olive oil, or mix oat flakes with almond butter and nuts.

You cannot do without moisturizing and tightening masks. For example, beat the egg whites with lemon juice, or combine 10 g of honey with 30 g butter and the same amount of applesauce. A mask of 2 yolks with lemon juice (20-30 ml) and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream will make the skin elastic.

The finishing touch in breast care is a cream. It must necessarily contain:

• aloe juice;
• essential oils of jojoba, lemon, pine or nutmeg;
• vitamin A and tocopherol;
• extract of St. John's wort or ginseng, you can hop or oil tree;
• collagen for firmness;
• extracts from seaweed;
• hyalorunic acid;
• vitamin C.

The cosmetic product is applied with massaging movements, moving from the armpits to the center of the chest. The cream should not come into contact with the areolas or nipples. If they are very dry, you can use a pharmacy petroleum jelly.

A budget alternative to expensive breast cosmetics is rosehip oil. It moisturizes and tightens, protects against aging. You can prepare bust cosmetics yourself by mixing avocado oil with jojoba and olive oil in equal proportions.

Rastish bust
Women who dream of becoming the owners of a large bust without surgical manipulations buy a variety of creams with phytoestrogens. Plant "hormones" really help to change the incomplete second to the third, and at the same time tighten the skin. But the effect of cosmetics ends when the girl stops using it. Such creams can cause oncology, because joking with hormones, even herbal ones, is dangerous.

Nutrition and its role

Tocopherol, vitamin C and vitamin A is needed by the body for the production of collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Deficiency of these components leads to premature aging of the epithelium. The face and chest are the first to suffer.

Women should not exhaust the body with diets, and should eat healthy foods every day:

• bran bread;
• bananas;
• Brewer's yeast;
• wild brown rice;
• nuts;
• egg yolks;
• citrus fruits such as grapefruits and oranges;
• Bell pepper;
• green vegetables;
• caviar;
• pumpkin;
• vegetable oils, for example, olive, linseed;
• legumes: soybeans, beans and peas;
• beef liver.

Alcohol is contraindicated, as is salt in large quantities, but a glass of wine, especially red wine, will not hurt.

Constant jumps in weight negatively affect the appearance of the chest. The mammary glands are made up of fat, therefore, when they gain mass, they increase significantly, and the skin stretches, while losing weight, it sags and becomes covered with wrinkles.

Girls who decide to get rid of fat on their sides should lose those extra pounds gradually, without getting carried away by fasting or strict diets. Combine proper nutrition with sports.

In order for the bust to remain elastic and fit even in retirement, it is necessary to constantly train and develop the muscles of the thoracic region. Ideal exercises:

• swimming;
• push ups;
• complex with a barbell or dumbbells;
• pull-ups on the bar;
• rowing.

To correct the shape of the breast at home, there is a complex of special loads:

1. Picking up two books that weigh the same, spread your feet shoulder-width apart. Put the weight on your palms, and raise them to chest level, connect your elbows. Slowly spread the upper limbs to the sides, trying not to miss the inventory. At the same time, rise on your toes and stretch up, but do not raise your palms above your shoulders. 20 seconds, and return to the original position.
2. In a standing position, press your straight back against the wall. Tighten the pectoral muscles, and make movements with your hands that imitate breaststroke. Enough 100 "dry" strokes per day to improve the shape of the mammary glands.
3. It is useful to do bends with your feet shoulder-width apart. First, the right hand should reach the left toe, and then touch the adjacent one. 15 to 20 repetitions.
4. A standing position with slightly bent knees to better maintain balance. Each hand has a small dumbbell. Raise the upper limbs, and cross over the head. Lower it quickly, and bring it a little behind the back. Up to 20 fast reps.
5. It is useful to do push-ups from the wall or from the floor. Put your hands in a wide and narrow grip to train different muscle groups. You can do the bar, push up on your fists.
6. Exercises should be performed not only for the chest, but also for posture. Walk around the room with your back straight, placing a volume of Tolstoy on top of your head, or Soviet Encyclopedia... It is forbidden to hold the load with your hands. You should try to prevent the book from falling to the floor while walking.

Leading the way

Balanced diet, physical exercise and cosmetics will make the breast beautiful and elastic, but we must not forget about the main enemy of women's health - mastopathy and tumors. The mammary glands should be examined monthly on the 5-12th day of the cycle. It is convenient to do this in the shower by applying a little gel to the bust. Gently feel the chest with raised and lowered hands, do not forget about the lymph nodes in the armpits.

The reason to contact a gynecologist or mammologist will be:

• lump in the mammary glands of any size;
• inflamed lymph nodes in the axillary or groin areas;
• discharge from the nipples or strange marks on the laundry;
• chest pain that is not associated with the approach of menstruation;
• deformation of the nipples.

Women after 35–40 should visit a mammologist at least once a year for no reason, for a routine examination, and do an ultrasound scan.

Large and small breasts need regular grooming. Then it will look luxurious, attracting the attention of the opposite sex, and increasing the self-esteem of its owner.

Probably every mother understands how important it is to properly care for the mammary glands during breastfeeding. First of all, the growth and development of the child depends on this, for whom mother's milk is the most valuable and nutritious product. And, of course, every woman wants her breasts not to look like deflated at the end of lactation. balloon, but attracted the admiring glances of others. Let's figure out what kind of care is required for the breast during the period of breastfeeding.

In fact, in order for the breast to be healthy and look good, it needs very simple care: not to violate the technique of feeding a newborn baby and the technology of pumping, to observe the rules of personal hygiene, perform simple exercises and massage, and choose the right underwear.

Feeding and pumping

It is very important to teach the baby to properly grip the nipple from the very first days of feeding. If the baby learns to suck incorrectly, then it will be very difficult to retrain him. And improper seizure can lead not only to cracks in the nipple, but also to uneven suction of milk from the glands, which, in turn, is the cause of lactostasis.

• With proper attachment, the baby should cover the nipple and areola with its mouth. The baby's nose during feeding should not touch the gland. It is very important to learn how to properly attach the baby to the breast, since in the process of sucking, the formation of the maxillofacial apparatus of the newborn baby takes place. Due to improper grip of the nipple, the load on the child's jaw will also be distributed incorrectly, which in the future can negatively affect the child's bite, the structure and health of his teeth.
• In the first period after giving birth, the baby has to be fed very often. Due to the large number of attachments, the nipples can be slightly injured, since the skin on them is very delicate. Therefore, doctors who observe a woman during pregnancy advise, a few months before giving birth, to start caring for the nipples, to harden them so that their skin becomes a little rough and less sensitive. Typically, the nipple skin will adapt to the feeding process 5-15 days after delivery.
• If, while feeding a baby, a woman experiences severe pain in the nipples, then she should use special pads made of thin silicone. It is very important to choose their size precisely so that the baby does not experience discomfort when sucking.
• It is necessary to learn not only to properly attach the baby to the breast, but also to take it away from it. You should not pull the nipple out of your baby's mouth when he is holding it tightly with his gums, otherwise it will injure the nipple. If the baby does not let go of the nipple after eating, then you need to gently unclench his gums with your finger, and only then remove it.

The feasibility of breastfeeding after a year all the pros and cons

After milk replaces colostrum, the breast becomes hard, swells, and begins to hurt. This usually happens on the third day after giving birth. During this period, a woman should limit the amount of fluid she drinks and, if possible, feed a newborn baby as often as possible. The milk ducts have not yet been developed, so milk moves along them with difficulty, as a result of which stagnation and lactostasis can form. If the baby is too weak or incorrectly captures the breast, due to which it does not suck milk from different segments, then the woman in labor should be sure to express the milk accumulated in the glands. With smooth, gentle movements, the breast is kneaded and the milk is expressed until the gland becomes soft.

If you cannot do this on your own and the breast remains tight and painful, then you should seek the help of an experienced midwife or nurse.

Milk stagnant in the ducts causes lactostasis, mastitis and cessation of lactation, so this issue should be approached very responsibly.

• Further breast care involves daily monitoring of the mammary glands, identifying segments with stagnant milk, massaging them and expressing them. If the baby is sucking well at the breast, then additional pumping is not required.
• If breast lumps appear frequently, you need to change the feeding position and check if the baby is properly gripping the nipple.
• Expressions can be done manually or with a dedicated breast pump.

Hygiene of the glands

• If cracks appear in the nipples during breastfeeding, a nursing mother should take good care of them in order to heal the wounds as soon as possible. To do this, after each feeding, rinse the glands with warm water without using any detergents, so as not to dry the skin even more, and then wipe them dry with a soft towel and lubricate with an emollient. As such, you can use "Bepanten" or a few drops of your own milk, which has excellent antibacterial properties and inhibits the development of pathogenic flora. In addition, this milk contains fats and nutrients that will help the cracks heal faster.
• If the nipples are very cracked, then breastfeeding should be temporarily stopped and the milk should be continued to manually express. After the wounds have healed, the baby can be applied to the chest again. However, if you do not take into account the previous mistakes in the technique of attachment and do not eliminate them, then over time, cracks will appear again, even with the best care of the glands.
• To restore the elasticity of the skin, it is very useful to do air baths. They give rest to the pectoral muscles and enrich skin cells with oxygen. It is important to ensure that your nipples are not exposed to direct sunlight while taking a bath.
• It is enough to wash healthy breasts twice a day while taking a hygienic shower. To care for her, doctors do not recommend using conventional detergents that remove the protective natural lubricant secreted by the mammary glands. As a last resort, you can use delicate means for intimate hygiene, which do not contain fragrances and dyes.

Massage and exercise

In order for the pectoral muscles to be strong and elastic, and the skin to be elastic and taut, it is necessary to perform simple physical exercises and massage every day.

• Massaging your breasts daily can improve blood circulation, which will make your skin more elastic and prevent stretch marks.
• A contrast shower and hydromassage, which is carried out with a stream of water in circular movements in a clockwise direction, are very useful for the skin of the glands.
• In order to strengthen the muscles that support the chest, you should perform the complex daily special exercises... These include push-ups from the floor, stretching the expander over the head, power squeezing the palms of the hands in front of the chest, and others.
• After each feeding, the woman needs to examine the mammary glands for compacted areas and, if they are found, gently (gently) massage the corresponding segment until it becomes soft.

Correct selection of linen

Proper breast care involves a responsible approach to the selection of lingerie for a nursing woman.

• During the period of breastfeeding, the mammary glands of a nursing mother greatly increase in size due to the constantly arriving milk. It is very important to wear a suitable and quality bra during this time. He must support the breast well in order to avoid stretch marks, but at the same time not squeeze it or rub it, so that blood circulation is not disturbed and the glands are not injured. For the same reason, the bra should not have metal bones, the fabric should be made of natural materials, soft, elastic, without protruding seams.
• For the period of time when milk arrives very intensively, it is advisable to purchase several replacement bras. Models for nursing mothers have special inserts to protect the bra from milk leaks. For these purposes, you can use gauze folded in several layers or a wide medical bandage.
• During a night's rest, instead of a bra, special supportive tops should be worn so that the skin does not stretch under the weight of the glands.

How to increase lactation for a nursing mother?

If a woman experiences pain during or after feeding the baby, the mammary gland becomes hardened or the body temperature rises, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Air baths for breasts

So that when breastfeeding to keep the mammary glands in perfect condition, you can use air baths. Such baths promote muscle relaxation, the breast receives enough oxygen and begins to "breathe" freely. Air baths are taken in this way: in the cold season, it will be enough to ventilate your room, and then sit in this room with an open chest for about ten minutes. If it's warm outside, then you can just sit by the open window with your chest topless.

When breastfeeding, these cracks will only increase and bring such pain to the mother that later on, breastfeeding will have to be completely abandoned.

So, in order for a mother to feed her baby with useful breast milk as long as possible after giving birth, proper breast care is simply necessary.

Today, any woman dreams that after giving birth and breastfeeding her breasts will return to good shape, but not many people know how to achieve the desired result. And all because they are not competent in the issue of proper care after the birth of a child.

At the time of a woman's pregnancy, her breasts undergo multiple changes: the mammary glands swell, as a result of which they become larger, and the nipples are pulled out, all this in order for the child to be more comfortable drinking milk. Therefore, you should start taking care of her carefully at the very beginning of pregnancy. In order to maintain its former shape, as well as prevent it from losing its elasticity and shape, it is necessary to know how to properly care for the breast while feeding.

Taking care of the breast during the feeding period is not an easy job. In order to keep it in the required form, as well as to avoid the appearance of cracks in the nipples, women need to pay attention to the following important points:

An important point in hygiene is hardening. It is very useful for a nursing mother to observe it. You can start with the simplest procedures - air baths, and you can continue in the shower, pouring cold or moderately hot water. Hardening also helps to increase lactation and strengthens the muscles.

Try to remember how to properly care for your breast while breastfeeding. Daily care will help keep her in excellent shape, as well as avoid the many problems and difficulties that stand in the way of the mother.

Throughout the entire stage of feeding the baby, a woman is accompanied by various problems and difficulties. Let's consider the main common problems.

1. Swelling for the first time days after childbirth. After the birth of the child, the woman begins to produce milk, as a result of which the breast becomes hard and the woman experiences pulling pains. To avoid this, doctors recommend limiting your diet on the day of milk arrival. Thanks to this, lactation will decrease and milk will be exactly as much as the baby needs.

To prevent the occurrence of cracks, it is necessary:

• wash the nipples with chamomile infusion;
• feed the baby correctly;
• prepare for the feeding period. This can be done by hardening or rubbing with a towel;
• do not let everything go by itself, it is better to immediately teach the child to take the nipple correctly, because it is easier to teach than to teach later;
• to increase lactation, as well as prevent cracks, self-massage of the mammary glands will help;
• try to avoid excessive dryness and moisture in the breasts;
• Various oils and moisturizers are excellent helpers in healing cracks.
