How do I get a massage when I'm breastfeeding?

[whoever this is]

To clarify, since I'm breastfeeding, my breasts leak a bit especially if I were to lay on them while getting a massage. If I wear a bra of any sort, I will not get much of a back massage because it will get in the way. Any ideas?

I got a massage a few months back and I told my masseuse I was breast feeding and she was very helpful and gave me a towel and just one was plenty. make sure you nurse right before you go and pump the other side too because if you're full at all it'll be a bit uncomfortable laying on your breasts. hope I helped.

place a towel under your breasts while getting a massage

I agree. Before I read the other answers I thought, "How would I deal with this?" If you came into my office, I'd place a towel under the sheet you lay on, so you'd still be comfy and the towel wouldn't dig into your skin. And while you were face down, I would place rolled up towels under your shoulders parallel to your breasts to support them..it can be uncomfortable to lay on your boobs whether your breastfeeding or not. Be sure to tell your therapist when you go in that you're breastfeeding. You may have to request for these things to be done.
