 |
-
Gentle support while suppressing lactation.
-
Prevents and treats engorgement.
-
Easy to use.
Whether you will not be breast feeding or if it's
time to stop, the
Loving Comfort® Breast Binder is the
comfortable and effective way to suppress lactation.
The whisper-soft, latex-free elastic provides
the necessary compression needed to support and bind the breast, and to
prevent and treat engorgement. The breast binder is lightweight, easy to
put on and is adjustable without requiring assistance. The
Loving Comfort® Breast Binder
may be used with nursing pads, if desired.

To Wear
The
Loving Comfort® Breast Binder
is designed so that it is easy to put on without assistance. There are
two strips of Velcro® "hook" on the binder. The narrower strip should
face out, and the wider one should face you. The narrow one will help
hold the elastic in place while you stretch it tightly around your body.
You should wear the binder as tightly as is comfortable. You may use
nursing pads if desired. |

Engorgement
In
most women, the milk supply arrives quickly and forcibly a few days
after delivery. The breasts can become tightly swollen and sore, and
are said to be "engorged." It is not our role to discourage breast
feeding, but if that is your choice, and since prescription
medications are no longer available to suppress lactation, wearing
the
Loving Comfort® Breast Binder
will help keep your milk from coming in.
Engorgement can also happen when you decide to stop breastfeeding
and milk accumulates in the breasts. You should wean your baby
gradually and express some milk if needed. If your breasts become
engorged because you have stopped breastfeeding, wear your
Loving Comfort® Breast Binder
as tightly as is comfortable, up to 24 hours a day. Cold packs may
provide further relief. After a few days, whatever buildup of milk
there is will prevent still more milk from being produced and your
breasts will gradually become less full and less painful.
Mastitis Caution
Mastitis is a breast infection
which may occur when bacteria enters the breast through the nipple.
It is extremely rare in non-nursing mothers but fairly common in
nursing ones. Symptoms include mid-to-high fever, chills, fatigue,
and joint pain. All or part of the breast may become red, hard, hot,
and painful. If this condition occurs, call your doctor immediately
for consideration of antibiotic therapy. |
 Washing
Hand wash the
binder often in warm (not hot) soapy water, and allow to air dry. Do
not put the binder in the dryer. |
