Mastitis prevention
First, it should vary from person to person and be supplemented as needed. Some parturients have difficulty in opening milk, so the family quickly stewed fish soup and pettitoes soup to supplement their bodies. In fact, this practice is not necessarily appropriate. First of all, what is the reason for the lack of milk? Is the milk secretion less, or is the milk accumulated and the milk tube blocked? That is, to distinguish between true hypogalactia and false hypogalactia. Because in many cases, milk has been continuously secreted and accumulated in the breast, but because the mammary duct is not smooth, it can not be discharged smoothly, giving people the performance of "not much milk", that is, less fake milk. At this time, the food supplemented with milk can only be counterproductive, which can easily lead to acute mastitis.
The second is to keep the breasts clean. During lactation, you can wash it with gauze dipped in warm water before breastfeeding. After breastfeeding, wipe your breasts and nipples with warm water. Do not use soap, alcohol and other chemicals to scrub the nipple, otherwise it will reduce the local defense ability of the nipple, and dry nipple will lead to bacterial infection.
The third is to breastfeed correctly. It is recommended to breastfeed regularly, preferably every 2 ~ 3 hours. The two breasts are fed alternately, and it is best to have equal opportunities to prevent asymmetry between the two breasts after breastfeeding. Empty your breasts and don't accumulate milk. When one breast can feed the baby, use the breast pump to suck the other breast empty. Don't be stingy, because the more milk you eat, the more you will have. Of course, when the milk is insufficient, it can also be kept in the refrigerator. Don't let the baby sleep with nipples after feeding. The baby's saliva contains digestive enzymes, which will make the milk form a substance similar to cheese and block the nipple, leading to poor milk discharge and even siltation. Breast-feeding posture should be correct, and it is best to use sitting position instead of lying position. After feeding, the baby should stand upright, rest his head on his mother's shoulder and pat his back gently, so that the baby can expel the air inhaled during breastfeeding through hiccups to prevent spitting. Wearing a suitable bra after breastfeeding can not only hold up the breast, keep the blood circulation of the breast unobstructed, but also help correct breast sagging.
The fourth is breast massage. The parturient of caesarean section often gives milk slowly, and the milk in the early stage is insufficient, so it is necessary to massage the milk in time. The time of artificial milking should be 20 ~ 30 minutes at a time, and the single time should not be too long. If milk cannot be discharged at one time, simply increasing the massage time can only increase the probability of local edema. The correct massage method is to apply paraffin oil or Kaiser dew to lubricate the skin, slide your fingers from the outer edge around the breast to the areola, and then lift the nipple up and down several times to generate local negative pressure under the areola, so as to achieve the effect similar to that of baby sucking. In addition to the stimulation of massage techniques, after the massage, children can be allowed to suck and increase the milk discharge reflex, so that the effect will be better after massage and sucking, which can reduce the occurrence of acute mastitis.
The fifth is to keep the environment clean, keep your mood stable and avoid getting angry. The temperature and humidity of the maternal bedroom should be suitable, generally 22℃ ~ 24℃, and the indoor air should be fresh. Some people think that pregnant women are afraid of the wind, sweat easily and catch a cold easily. So the doors and windows are closed and the indoor air is dirty, which is not good for mother and baby. In addition, a reasonable diet, unobstructed defecation and stable mood are very important for pregnant women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acute mastitis is caused by stagnation of liver qi and stomach fire. Stagnation of liver qi and obstruction of mammary duct. Panic and anger, breastfeeding stopped. Therefore, it is very important to feel comfortable and emotionally stable, and pay attention to preventing the breasts from being squeezed and hit.
Stagnant milk cubes can be cold-compressed with ice packs, not hot-compressed, and can't be rubbed casually.
