Where to Put a Lactation Massager

Positioning Tips for Comfort, Relief, and Better Milk Flow

When it comes to breastfeeding or pumping, comfort and efficiency matter. That’s why using a lactation massager correctly can make a significant difference in milk flow, relief from engorgement, and overall breast health. But one of the most common questions new moms ask is:
“Where exactly should I place my lactation massager?”

Let us help you get the most out of this essential tool with clear and simple guidance.

💡 General Placement Guidelines

Whether you’re breastfeeding or pumping, the goal is to stimulate milk flow and relieve any areas of tightness or discomfort. The best place to put your lactation massager depends on your specific needs:

🔹 1. Near Clogged or Tender Areas

If you're experiencing clogged ducts or localized pain, place the massager directly over the affected area and gently glide it toward the nipple in slow motions. This helps encourage drainage and relieves pressure.

🔹 2. On the Outer Edges of the Breast

Start by placing the massager along the outer edges of your breast, and slowly move it inward. This helps stimulate overall flow and loosen up the breast tissue before feeding or pumping.

🔹 3. Behind the Areola

For stimulating letdown, position the massager behind the areola while applying gentle pressure. You can do this before or during pumping or nursing to encourage milk release.

🔹 4. Under the Breast

For moms experiencing discomfort or fullness underneath, placing the massager at the base of the breast can help with overall drainage and comfort.
