The focus and method of breast care are different for different age groups and periods of time. Different symptoms may occur during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and middle age. The following four periods of women, teach you how to protect breasts? Puberty After women enter puberty, breasts gradually begin to develop, breasts and areolas, nipples are enlarged, areola and nipple color gradually deepen, glandular tissue development, subcutaneous fat increase, breasts are gradually full of conical, full and erect, this time on the protection of the breasts is mainly to make the development of the breasts more healthy and beautiful. So, how much breast development is considered normal? In fact, the size of the breasts should be commensurate with the height and body type of the person, due to different heights and body types, the size of the breasts standard also varies from person to person. What should I do if my breasts are too small? A small number of women with small breast development, flat chest, no undulating peaks, lack of female curves, you can take the following measures to make up for the corresponding measures: 1, do not deviate from the diet, to develop good eating habits, increase some animal protein and fat. 2, adhere to the daily unarmed exercises, usually more chest, chest expansion, you can also do push-ups, pull-ups or dumbbell exercises, pulling the spring and other sports, exercise the pectoral muscles so that it is developed, hypertrophy, thus promoting breast enlargement. 3, adhere to the breast massage, can promote the development of breasts; can be in the bath every day or before going to bed for breast massage. Pregnancy During pregnancy, breast enlargement is obvious, nipple is relatively also enlarged, areola enlargement, nipple, areola coloring deepening, epidermal thickening, areola gland secretion is exuberant, at this time the breast is fully developed, to be ready for breastfeeding.

Lactation During lactation, the breasts begin to secrete milk continuously, providing the best nutritional food for the baby.

Breastfeeding breast health care not only to protect the health of breast tissue, but also to ensure that the breast lactation smooth. 1, to do a good job of nipple care. During the breastfeeding period due to the baby’s sucking, the nipple is impregnated with milk, coupled with the friction of the underwear, easy to cause nipple cracking, breakage or eczema and other lesions. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job of nipple care, before and after each breastfeeding should use warm water to gently wash the nipple and areola, to keep the local clean and dry. If the nipple is broken, you can use a breast pump to suck out the milk and put it into a bottle to feed, or use a bell-shaped breast pump to put it on the areola and let the baby suck indirectly, so as to make the ruptured nipple easy to heal. 2, develop good breastfeeding habits. The number and time of breastfeeding should be regular, so as to achieve regular breastfeeding and breastfeeding on both sides of the breast in turn, to prevent the asymmetry of the bilateral breasts; each breastfeeding l0-15 minutes, sucking the milk should be sucked to prevent milk retention caused by breast lumps, so as to prevent the occurrence of mastitis, and also breast emptying is conducive to the promotion of breast milk secretion. 3, wear a suitable bra.
