1. Massage your breasts on a daily basis, and if you find a hardened area, massage it towards the nipple.
2. Most first-time moms experience mastitis. It is really quite unusual for a woman having her second baby to get it again.
3. Apply cabbage leaves to any areas that feel thickened or firm to relieve the swelling.
