S/O Massages

I've only gone for one massage while breastfeeding and it hurt so badly. I wasn't engorged or anything but getting my back pushed on face down on a hard table was excruciating for the boobs. Am I the only one?
A massage is going to be number one on my to do list when I wean!

I rarely get massages so no experience, but I imagine it would be uncomfortable. Sorry your massage wasn't as enjoyable and relaxing as it should be . They should make a special table for BFing/sensitive boob people.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the massage I had one pretty early PP and it felt great! I did let the guy know I was nursing so I'm not sure if he did anything differently. However, I could have been just so tired that anything would have felt good then...

Hmm I have had many. My biggest issue was leaking. Could you side lay like they do pregnant moms?

I also nurse prior to and ask for a towel just in case there's leakage. I second the suggestion to side lay like you would in a prenatal massage if it's still uncomfortable.

I love massages. I have only had 1 since I was pregnant and it was when DD was 16 months. I BF right before and I was ok. No leaking or pain.

I've loved my massages. At the beginning, my guy would arrange towels for me. You. Could also let. Them know you aren't comfortable laying on your tummy, and they can situate you another way.
