Forgetting about silicone: what products help breast growth?

COVID-19✓ Safe

There is no woman who would not like to have beautiful and large breasts. Statistical surveys show that almost 90% of women are dissatisfied with the size and shape of their breasts that they currently have. Most often, ladies want to enlarge their breasts for the following reasons:

• To improve body proportions
• In order to restore shape and size after pregnancy, breastfeeding or age-related changes
• In order to achieve a cosmetic effect - eliminate asymmetry or after undergoing surgery on the mammary glands

Why is breastfeeding necessary?

Breastfeeding has not only nutritional, but also great psychological significance, influencing the development of mother-child relationships in subsequent age periods**. According to studies conducted in Australia, among such factors of a child’s psychological development as age, education, the presence of bad habits in the mother, lack of breastfeeding for at least 6 months has a 1.45 times greater impact on the child’s mental ill-health than others** *.

What does lactation depend on?

The most important rule for establishing lactation and maintaining it throughout the entire period of breastfeeding is the mother’s correct psychological attitude and desire, the so-called dominant for breastfeeding. You must always remember and be firmly convinced that the best food for your baby is your milk. The prevalence and duration of breastfeeding is a controlled process, determined, on the one hand, by the psychological readiness of the pregnant woman for motherhood and breastfeeding during the first year of the child’s life, on the other hand, by support from the family and medical institutions for obstetrics and childhood**. In this situation, treatment and preventive institutions must create the right conditions for the onset of lactation and its support in the first year of the baby’s life.

What affects lactation

Lactation in women is influenced by various factors, which can be divided into 4 groups: psychological, organizational, social and medical. Organizational and medical factors are mainly important in the early stages of breastfeeding, while psychological and social factors are of long-term effect.

Organizational and medical factors

These include factors that depend on the correct actions of medical workers in the postpartum period. Staying together of mother and child in the maternity hospital, early breastfeeding, lack of stimulation of labor and prelactation feeding, feeding from the first days of the baby’s life, timely and reasonable assistance from medical personnel**. An important aspect is the early attachment of the baby to the breast. Immediately after birth, the baby is placed on the mother's stomach so that she can attach the baby to her breast. Early contact between the newborn and mother stimulates the production of breast milk in greater volumes. In addition to health care providers, lactation consultants who specialize in helping mothers can help develop proper breastfeeding practices.

Psychological and social factors

The psychological state of the mother during the period of feeding the child plays an equally important role. The established dominance of motherhood and lactation, comfortable conditions in the family, the mother’s ability to relax during feeding, and the absence of stressful situations have a positive effect on the nature of lactation and its duration**. Since milk comes in differently for different women, if milk is not enough, do not despair at the first stage and remain positive and confident in your abilities. Worry only reduces your milk supply. It is important not to start artificial feeding while there is still hope of establishing breastfeeding*****.

Herbal tablets: truth and myths

Before we start talking about the breast enlargement diet, you should pay attention to a widely advertised method designed for breast growth - herbal pills. Of course, these drugs can increase bust volume, but only for the period during which they will be used. In addition, side effects from taking herbal remedies may prevent you from enjoying their full benefits. Before you come to a conclusion: to drink or not to drink herbal remedies , let's see if they are really effective?

If you believe the advertising, it turns out that a woman who uses drugs with a high content of phytoestrogen will have breasts that grow by leaps and bounds. How else? After all, the hormone estrogen takes part in bust enlargement , so if you start introducing phytoestrogen contained in flaxseed, hops, wild Mexican yam, soybean, red crow and saw palmetto into the body, a similar effect should be achieved. It would seem that everything is so simple: I took the pills and my breasts got bigger. Beauty!

However, let's see why a “diet” of herbal pills to increase breast volume does not lead to the desired result. Since phytoestrogen is able to interact with some organs as estrogen, but does not have this ability with other organs, it helps to enlarge breasts exclusively for women who are familiar with the problems of menopause first-hand. But young ladies who have not come face to face with menopause will see absolutely no effect from taking herbal medicines. In addition, the risk of cancer from taking these drugs cannot be ruled out. Therefore, before you decide to use dubious means, the portal hudeem-bez-problem.ru advises you to think thoroughly about the consequences of your decision.

Signs of insufficient lactation

To assess the adequacy of lactation, a thorough analysis of the child’s behavior, frequency of urination, and the nature of stool is necessary. Possible signs of insufficient lactation are:

• the child’s screaming and restlessness during or immediately after feeding;
• the need for frequent breastfeeding;
• long-term feeding, during which the child makes a lot of sucking movements in the absence of swallowing movements;
• the mother feels that the mammary glands are quickly completely emptied when the baby is actively sucking; when pumping after feedings, there is no milk;
• restless sleep, frequent crying, “hungry” cry;
• low rate of baby weight gain;
• infrequent bowel movements and urination*.

Will diets or special nutrition be able to enlarge breasts?

There are claims that you need to eat foods containing the same phytoestrogens, and supposedly you can expect breast enlargement. These are, for example, legumes - lentils, beans, peas, soybeans, and many phytoestrogens in grain crops. Of course, this is a rather lengthy question, but there are always benefits from such a diet.

Sometimes there are stupid recommendations that you can enlarge your breasts without surgery by eating cabbage, raw dough or yeast. Remember - this method is applicable only for girls whose bodies are still growing, that is, for teenagers. And then with great caution, because these products do not increase the breasts as such, but the volume of the body in general. The girl is gaining weight all over, and her breasts, of course, follow suit. Being fat with big breasts is not good. And for women whose bodies have long been formed, trying to enlarge their breasts in this way is generally contraindicated - you will only gain weight, mainly on the stomach and hips, but the breasts will remain the same.

Starting breastfeeding

In the first days after childbirth, it is important to follow the following principles.

• Feed the baby on demand (up to 10–12 times a day). The baby's increasing needs for breast milk stimulate the formation of more and more milk in the mother; the child himself “dictates” to the mammary gland how much milk it should produce not only in the first, but also in all subsequent days and months.
• Avoid using pacifiers and bottles. If a baby is started bottle-fed in the first 3-4 days after birth, the chances of breastfeeding success are reduced.
• Prevent cracks and engorgement of the mammary glands (lactostasis).

Products for breast enlargement in women

Products enriched with estrogen in the composition indirectly affect the processes responsible for the production of estrogen itself in a woman’s body. Additionally, they have a general strengthening effect. The main thing is not to abuse it.

When developing a diet, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the body, especially the tendency to develop allergic reactions. You should purchase products from trusted places, from reliable manufacturers. It is better to buy homemade vegetables and fruits.

Next stages of lactation

At the next stages of lactation it is important:

• pay special attention to night feedings; the maximum amount of the hormone prolactin (responsible for the secretion of breast milk) is produced from 4 to 7 am;
• Healthy food;
• if necessary, include lactation products with a lactogon effect in your diet;
• establish a rational daily routine for adequate sleep and rest;
• remain calm and have a positive, positive feeding attitude in all situations.

It is important!

According to statistics, most mothers experience “lactation crises,” which refers to a temporary decrease in the amount of milk (for no apparent reason).
Therefore, the issue of increasing lactation is relevant for 80% of breastfeeding mothers. Lactation crises are based on the peculiarities of hormonal regulation of lactation. Crises occur at 3–6 weeks, 3, 4, 7, 8 months of lactation. Their duration is on average 3–4 days. To get through crises, it is enough to put the baby to the breast more often and feed from both mammary glands. It is also necessary to ensure rest and peace for the mother, a varied and nutritious diet, consumption of lactogenic products, drinking drinks containing lactogenic drugs or herbs 15–20 minutes before feeding*.

Can diet enlarge breasts?

Breast structure
Before you begin to increase the volume of the mammary glands without surgery, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of the anatomical structure. The breast consists of the following types of soft tissue:

• mammary glands (breasts);
• muscular;
• fatty.

During physical training, the fat layer will not increase, but rather decrease. To prevent this from happening, you need to carefully review your diet. It should be based on protein products, since they stimulate the growth of muscle tissue.

In the female breast, muscles make up only a small part, so on the way to achieving your goal, you must not forget about the fat layer. To increase volume, you need to consume healthy fats in optimal amounts. The only drawback of this approach is that excess fat in the breasts loses their tone and elasticity, causing them to sag.

Breast size is affected by the concentration of the sex hormone estrogen in the blood. Therefore, to achieve the goal, it is necessary to enrich the diet with foods containing this substance.

As a rule, large breasts are observed in women with large shapes.
You should familiarize yourself with additional factors on which bust size depends:

• Genetic predisposition. As a rule, children copy their parents. The condition of the figure and physique features also depend on heredity. If your mother or grandmothers did not have large breasts, you should not count on a miracle.
• Body mass. The breasts contain a large amount of fatty tissue, so if a woman gains extra pounds, this also affects the volume of the breasts, and they increase in size. As a rule, a full bust is observed in women with large figures. If a woman wants to lose weight, she should be prepared for the fact that her breast size may decrease by several sizes.
• Sports activities. Exercise does not make breasts bigger. By performing certain exercises, you can work out the muscles and make the bust firmer and tighter, making it appear more voluminous.
• Use of hormonal drugs. Enlargement or, on the contrary, reduction of breasts may be a consequence of prolonged use of a certain group of medications.

Some of these reasons have nothing to do with the person, but thanks to the rest, you can make your body more attractive.

Products to increase lactation

To stimulate the production of breast milk, a nursing mother can include special products in her diet, for example, Lactamil. It contains a complex of special herbs that give a lactogenic effect: cumin, nettle, anise, fennel. "Lactamil" contains not only herbs, but also milk protein, fatty acids, dietary fiber, a complex of vitamins, and microelements. Their combination can promote rapid recovery after childbirth and increase the quantity and quality of breast milk. Unlike folk recipes and homemade “herbal remedies,” lactation products undergo clinical trials and have precise dosages of medicinal plants.

Traditional methods for increasing breast volume

To ensure the beauty and fullness of girls' breasts in Kievan Rus, mothers, when their daughters reached ten years old, steamed them several times a week in a bathhouse with oak brooms, and then poured cold water over the bust.

The Old Russian diet for increasing breast size requires daily consumption of two cups of milk, low-fat veal or poultry meat, three tablespoons of fish oil and white cabbage, which contains a high percentage of folic acid (a B vitamin), necessary for the growth of new cells.

Folk remedies to increase lactation

There are many folk recipes for increasing lactation. But it’s always worth remembering: what helped one mother may not help or even harm another. Below we provide several recipes that can cause increased lactation. Before use, be sure to consult with your doctor, because all herbs contain essential oils with a stimulating function and biologically active components with a hormone-like effect.

Infusion of fennel fruits, dill seeds and anise

Mix 1 to 1 anise seeds, fennel fruits and dill seeds. Pour 1 teaspoon of the resulting mixture with a glass of boiling water and let it brew for 10–15 minutes. Take 3 cups per day.

Infusion of cumin, hops, nettle leaves, dill seeds

Mix 20 g of hops, 25 g of dill and caraway seeds and dried nettle leaves. Take 30–40 g from the mixture, dilute with 1 liter of hot water and leave for 10 minutes. Take 50 ml before or during meals.

Anise seed infusion

Pour 2 teaspoons of anise seeds into a glass of hot water and leave for an hour. Take 2 tablespoons 2-3 times a day.

Compliance with the basic principles of breastfeeding and a positive attitude can help the mother both increase lactation and cope with crises, and maintain breastfeeding for a long period. We recommend that all mothers consult a breastfeeding specialist.

Reviews and results

Reviews from women in most cases indicate a slight effect on breast size. Physical exercise has a greater effect, and proper nutrition allows you to feel good. Its effectiveness is noted when used in adolescence, when the female body is developing.

• “... Before pregnancy, my breasts were of normal size, but after pregnancy and breastfeeding I lost a lot of weight, and at the same time my breasts shrank. All summer I was with my child and mother at the dacha. Fresh air, your own fruits and vegetables, homemade milk and cottage cheese, carrots with sour cream every day. Moreover, my mother made a liter jar of a vitamin mixture: honey, lemon and nuts. I finished this jar in a week. In general, over the summer, my son and I improved well and gained weight. Including enlarged breasts. I didn’t do any special exercises, but I worked a lot in the garden and in the garden”;
• “... I remember how, as a teenager, my grandmother gave me a decoction of oregano with village milk and steamed oats with honey. But she didn’t do this for the sake of breast enlargement, and I had a difficult menstrual cycle. He was confused, and his periods were very painful. All summer, or 2.5 months, I drank this crap, ate normally and ate a lot of nuts (I had a lot since last year). Air and healthy food did their job. Firstly, I grew by 7 cm, gained weight, my breasts became larger and rounder, my cycle normalized and the acne on my face disappeared. So don’t trust traditional medicine after this. But I think it helped because there was intensive growth and development of me as a woman”;
• “... My friend shared the recipe. According to him, a breast diet includes freshly squeezed carrot juice and a good handful of spinach for breakfast. A glass of juice should be drunk immediately after preparation and be sure to add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or cream to it, since vitamin A is absorbed in the presence of fat. I tried it. I can’t say that it increased greatly, but there was a slight effect. In addition, overall health and skin condition improved and constipation went away. Some people find relief from taking a decoction of hop cones, but the increase is insignificant and temporary. Estrogen-like substances in hops cause the breasts to “fill up” and become firmer. I don't think that forcibly administered estrogens are not harmful. Suddenly it will affect you later and the balance of hormones will be disrupted. Certain physical exercises also help - the breasts become noticeably fuller. You can try this."
