From here develops a breast massage system we can easily meld into any pre-natal massage treatment we are already familiar with.
Day 2 will focus on the transition that happens after delivery, basic lymphatic massage techniques to support fluid flow and "let down", and specific work around the mammary ducts and areola to keep breast milk flowing steadily if impediments or pathology should arise.
