Question

Can you tell me if there are breast enhancement pills out there that actually work?

Answer 1

No: No, none have lasting effects.

Answer 2

Yes: Very often one breast may be more productive due to more active ducts/glands. If your breast are not the same size, the larger one may make more milk.

Answer 3

Yes: Breast milk supply is often not the same one side compared to another. This is not unusual at all.

Answer 4

No: There are no risks to breast pads, feel free to use them.

Answer 5

No: Nursing pads help you keep your clothing dry when milk leaks between feedsl. You can find disposable or re-usable pads. Change them as soon as they become moist to avoid your nipples becoming sore or infected. If they ever "stick" to your nipples try not to pull them off as you can irritate your skin, try a warm wet cloth instead.

Answer 6

No: Breast pads are not risky, if they are not allowed to build up germs such as yeast or bacteria. That means pads that don't have plastic backing may "breathe" and dry quicker, avoiding germ growth. Changing the pads frequently should help avoid germ growth also.

Answer 7

There are: no risks to using breast pads.

Answer 8

Protect nipples: Breast shells are used to protect sore nipples from the discomfort of touching your clothing. They can also be used to correct inverted nipples and help your baby breastfeed more easily. They are worn inside your bra.

Answer 9

Plastic cups : They are hard plastic cups that go over the breast with a hole in the center for the nipple. When you wear it under a bra, the nipple is pressed into the hole which both keeps the nipple away from fabric so it stays dry and unirritated, but also helps the nipple stand out for an easier latch when the baby feeds.

Answer 10

Plastic disks: Breast shells are hollow plastic disks worn inside the brassiere to protect the nipple from becoming flattened. They are also used during inverted nipple treatments.

Answer 11

Tx Brfeed problems: Breast shells are a plastic dome that fits over your nipple, inside your bra. Some are one piece, some are two piece, depending upon the problem that is being addressed. They can allow air to circulate around nipple, correct flat/inverted nipple, etc.

Answer 12

Yes: An electric double breastpump can help you pump more (may only be slightly more), but in a shorter period of time than hand-expressing or using a manual pump.

Answer 13

Yes: There are manual and electric breast pumps; electric are stronger and typically help you pump more milk. Also pumping both sides at once can help stimulate more flow. Putting the electric pump on the highest comfortable setting will produce the most milk effectively and efficiently.

Answer 14

No: The size of your breasts will not increase from sexual activity.
