Hello, my baby also had lactation blockage every three days when he was breastfeeding. I was so worried that I even called a prolactinologist at first, which cost more than 300 yuan. Later, I did it myself After searching around for a while and watching some videos on this topic, I learned how to do simple unblocking on my own. I had to pay attention to it. If there was a blockage, I would unblock it by myself. Until weaning, I also admire myself.

1. Don’t eat greasy food and drink less milk (lactation experts say that if the mother drinks too much milk, the baby will easily have small particles in the milk, and this is the most likely to block the milk)

2. You should be especially careful at ordinary times. Don’t sleep with your baby pressed, don’t hug your baby and squeeze it, don’t bump into it, and don’t let your baby wrap the nipple for a long time. It’s easy to develop nipple inflammation. If you have little white spots on your nipples, this little white spot is me. The reason why I often have lactation blockage is because I feed two babies, and there is no way to take turns. Every time there is a white spot, I use a needle to prick it open. Often this little white spot is the nipple, and the nipple will feel painful if it is there. I pricked the nipple that was blocking the milk. When it's empty (either hand expression or a breast pump will work), use some iodophor to disinfect it, and then scrub it with warm water before the baby feeds. This is how I unclog it. Usually, I express my milk a few times and observe that the milk outlet is evenly distributed on the teat. When the milk is expressed, it looks like a flower. If the milk is blocked, obvious asymmetry will be seen when the milk is expressed again. Flowers are incomplete. You can see it if you pay attention to them frequently.

3. Don’t try if you’re not sure. I can’t stop my breasts because I work too hard. I’m tired of calling the lactation specialist over and over again. And if I don’t clear my breasts in time, it can easily lead to mastitis or something. Yes, the sister who gave me the weaning massage said in the end that my breast which tends to block my breasts has nodules and it will be cured if I take some medicine in time.
