Getting a Message If Nursing

I had a massage done while I was nursing and it wasn't an issue. What they did was put a pillow under my chest to make me more comfortable. I didn't have any leaking problems, and I felt comfortable once they did that. If you want, you could bring your own pillow and if you leak, they won't know it since it is yours. :)

I had one when my son was 10 mos and was fine (and he was still exclusively breastfed), although I know earlier I might have leaked. I would just ask them to put a folded towel under your chest, they always have extras, and try to schedule it right after a feeding. Although if your kids are like mine, that whole scheduling idea can be pretty crazy :)

Oh gosh, I just said "i'm nursing I hope i don't leak" and we threw a towel on the girls just in case. I didn't end up needing it though. Just make sure you nurse before hand so the any pressure doesn't make you uncomfortable!

I had a massage when my son was 4 months old too (nursing full time). It wasn't an issue for me either. When you're on your stomach the pressure on your breasts will keep them from leaking. Just make sure you feed your girl shortly before you go in for it :) I'd use it - nothing like a massage to make you temporarily forget you're a mom (in a good way).

I had a massage when my daughter was 2.5 mos old and had no problems. I think I had another one or two during the year that she nursed and didn't have any problems. I nursed her right before I went and it was fine. The only issue I had was, at first, it was very uncomfortable to lay on my stomach, but I just shifted around until it was ok (and the massage definitely helped to take my mind off of it, too!!) Go enjoy yourself!!

I got a massage w/in the first 2-3 months after having my son. I even had my son there he was sleeping. I myself did not start leaking.

It's not uncommon to leak. But I'll bet you need a massage more than ever! Just leave your bra on with nursing pads in or place a towel across your chest and you'll be just fine!

I got one when my daughter was 5 months old and it was sooo worth it! If you are worried about leaking, just pump right before you go. Chances are though,if you are laying on your stomach you won't . I would tell them you are nursing.If you do leak, they use new clean sheet for every one, so they'll wash them anyway, so it's really no biggie, it can't be worse than anything else that's ever gotten on the sheets from other clients.Just have them use plain oil with no scents or herbs in it. Just be sure to drink a lot of water. I wouldn't worry about it. I would go and enjoy it!!!!!! You'll probably sleep through most of it any way, oh and don't be shy if you need to tell the person to shut up. I would shower when you get home though incase any of the oil gets on your nipples by accident.Enjoy! You need to really relax!

Hi M.!
You'll be fine. Just pump milk before you head to your massage. I had to continue laying on my side because on my belly hurt the chest!! I had massages while pregnant and laying on the side is nice too.
Enjoy the TLC!
