Lactation Massager – Patented Breastfeeding Relief, Boost Milk Flow & Ease Discomfort from Clogged Ducts, Engorgement, Mastisis – Postpartum Essentials for Nursing Moms – HSA/FSA Medical Device

Amazing for clearing blockages AND pumping more efficiently!
For various reasons, I’ve had to exclusively pump after my daughter was born. For the sake of my sanity and to avoid being chained to the pump all day long, I am currently – at nearly 9 months postpartum – pumping 3 times a day at evenly spaced 8 hour intervals. Longer gaps between pump sessions generally require longer pump sessions in order to maintain an adequate milk supply. That’s where these beautiful massagers come in! I first came across the LaVie massager in an article from a post-pregnancy newsletter that I’ve been getting via email. I’ve always been prone to annoying painful blockages, and despite wanting some kind of vibrating tool to help combat them, nothing really existed for that purpose before (I tried one of those handheld vibrating back massagers, which failed miserably – ouch!). I ordered one up directly through the manufacturer, gave it a try, and it worked great!I started out trying the massager before and after pumping as a means of trying to clear out some of those annoying blockages. It wasn’t long before I started using it while I was pumping. I immediately noticed that the massager wasn’t only helping to clear out blocked areas, it was also helping me to pump more efficiently, too. For a while, I was actively using one massager and was constantly switching its placement from side to side while I pumped. I recently discovered that Amazon was selling the massagers, and I decided to order a second one.I’ve always had to work hard to get my milk out and empty with a breast pump. Constant use of hand massaging, compressions, and direct pressure meant that I couldn’t just sit there while I pump. Forget about surfing the web on my phone or iPad – my hands were always too busy for that. The use of TWO massagers while I pump has been game changing. Instead of moving one back and forth, I’ve been able to stuff one into each side of my pumping bra and leave them there for the duration of my pump cycle. I’m now pumping more efficiently and (even better) hands free. It’s taking less time to effectively empty out at the pump, and I think I’m even getting a little more milk output at the same time. It’s definitely a win-win in my book!Oh, and since I started using two massagers, I’ve noticed that the frequency and severity of my blockages have also gone down quite a bit. I’m definitely a fan!

This device saved me from two bouts of mastitis without needing antibiotics. I came across this device when hunting online for at home mastitis remedies. A number of people suggested the vibration from an electric toothbrush to break down clogs, then this popped up. I found it so helpful, it’s well designed and you can use different sides for different actions, I think I found a video on YouTube showing different ways to use it. Any time I felt the pain coming on, I’d use this a couple of times a day on the sore areas and it stopped it from spreading. So grateful to have found it. Might not work for everyone, but definitely worth a try if you’re prone to mastitis like I was.

This is portable and it soothes sore breasts and improves the flow of milk. You can store in your caddy by the bedside or pop it it your purse. It feels like a deserving massage for a weary Mom! I highly recommend it.
