Abstract

Breast massage is not new. It is a "handy" technique that has been studied for decades and praised for its many uses in establishing and sustaining lactation, overcoming breastfeeding difficulties, and preventing or treating maternal and infant problems. This article reviews some of the studies examining various breast massage and breast-compression techniques, and proposes possible indications for their use.
