Abstract:

Extensive benefits of breastfeeding have been identified and although many women initiate breastfeeding, discontinuation is common when problems arise. In this article, the authors review the pertinent anatomy of the breast with osteopathic considerations to help osteopathic physicians identify myofascial, vascular, lymphatic, or innervation somatic dysfunctions to support the breastfeeding mothers' long term breastfeeding goals, optimize breastmilk supply, and potentially prevent or treat problems that could interfere with lactation. Observations from the authors' academic mother-baby osteopathic manipulation clinic are also included.
