The must have breastfeeding expression tool

The LaVie Lactation Massager is a milk expression tool that can be used to help your breastfeeding routine. Knock out clogged ducts, speed up milk letdown and milk flow, and reduce discomfort from engorgement. That way, you can stay focused on your beautiful bond with your baby plus it's waterproof! (Happy boobs, happy mama, happy baby.)

Developed in collaboration with IBCLCs, it's unique shape and multiple vibration modes, combined with our step-by-step care plan, make the LaVie Lactation Massager the perfect tool to restore your milk flow.

How it helps

Establishing a good flow is everything as a breastfeeding mum. The original LaVie Lactation Massager works to maintain your flow by giving you:

  • Relief from clogged ducts and engorgement
  • Faster milk letdown
  • Improved milk flow
  • Faster breast emptying
  • Better latching by softening your breast 

How does it work

  • Stimulate the breast with the wide side to improve letdown and soften the breast for latching
  • Use the narrow tip to empty faster and work out stubborn plugged ducts that can lead to mastitis
  • Reduce engorgement and move milk more effectively with the scoop edge

When do mums use it

Specifically designed to be with mums during every step of their breastfeeding journey, the LaVie Lactation Massager can be used:

  • When the mother’s milk first comes in to provide relief from pain and discomfort
  • Before nursing sessions to encourage let-down, soften the breast for better latching, and more effectively empty the breast
  • In the nursing bra before and during pumping sessions to stimulate the breast and improve flow
  • As needed to relieve pain and discomfort associated with mastitis, plugged ducts, and engorgement
  • To replace tedious and tiring hand compression of the breast

How to Use

Clogged ducts can be extremely painful, but with the proper tools and care plan you can help prevent or relieve them much more easily.

Here are simple steps to help relieve clogged ducts using the LaVie Lactation Massager. Please note that the severity of clogged ducts can be different for every woman. For some women, following this protocol just once will be enough while others will need to repeat it a few times before the clogged duct is completely resolved. Mums who are looking to reduce or relieve engorgement can also follow the same plan to help relieve engorgement.

  1. Warm the breast
    Applying heat can help soften the breast and make it easier to get your milk flowing. You can take a warm shower or place a warm, moist compress on the breast for 10 minutes.
  2. Turn on the massager
    Press and hold the circle power button for 3 seconds to activate. Once activated, make sure to press the power button once to start and change the vibration mode to your preference. You can use the up and down arrows to change the intensity levels. 


Tip: You can use a baby safe nipple cream such as Lanolin or an oil based balm to help the massager glide over the breast more easily. 

  1. Soften the area
    If you feel very engorged or the plugged duct is very hard, you can use the wide bottom side of the massager to help soften the area and express milk. Set the vibration mode to your preferred setting and gently press the wide side of the massager on the breast. Move the massager from the hard or tender area toward the nipple for approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Apply direct pressure
    Using the narrow tip, press into the hardened tender area of the breast, moving towards the nipple. It may feel very tender, so apply as much pressure as you feel comfortable. You can also use the bottom and side edges to scoop or slide on the breast.
  3. Empty the breast
    In order to relieve the clog, it is important to empty the breast often. If possible, breastfeed on the affected breast first, since your little one will feed more vigorously at the beginning of a feed. If your breast still feels firm after feeding, pump the affected breast until softened. Use the massager to help express the milk while feeding or pumping. During breastfeeding, you can use the massager on the off setting so that the vibrations do not distract your little one.


Tip: If you have an oversupply of milk or are weaning and get a clogged duct, you do not need to empty the breast entirely. Pump just enough to get the clog out or relieve engorgement. Try 'dangle feeding' where you lean over your baby so that gravity can assist in draining the breast.

  1. Cool down (Optional)
    Cooling down the breast can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. As an optional step, apply a cold compress for approximately 10 minutes.


Rest & Repeat 
Make sure to rest as much as possible so your body can heal itself. This process can be repeated every 2-3 hours until the clogged duct is fully resolved.
Patience and persistence is key to relieving clogged ducts. If you notice your breast getting softer after feedings, you are on the road to recovery. Some women resolve their clogged ducts after following this protocol just once, while many women need to repeat the process a few times before the issue is completely resolved.


If the problem persists for more than 24-48 hours or you feel-flu like symptoms, contact your healthcare provider. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
