Cold compress when the breast is red, swollen and feverish: clean the fresh cabbage leaves and put them in the refrigerator for freezing. Take them out, flatten them and apply them on the breast (nipple exposed), and then change a piece after the leaves become soft. Or chop the cabbage and put it on the plastic wrap, and then stick it on the breast. In addition to cabbage leaves, potato chips can also be applied to the breast in circles, or cactus can be peeled, pricked and mashed and directly applied to the breast lumps, which is also beneficial to milk.
Note: It is best not to use warm compress when the breast is red, swollen and hot. Be sure to let the baby suck after warm compress, or suck it out with a breast pump.
Things you can't eat during lactation.
Malt milk essence: Because the malt in malt milk essence will inhibit the mammary gland from secreting milk, so that the milk will be reduced, which is not good for the baby's health.
Irritant foods: such as leeks, young garlic shoots, peppers, etc. Mothers during lactation should try to eat less irritating foods. Irritant foods are not only easy to hurt body fluids, gas and blood, but also easy to enter the baby's body through milk, affecting the baby's health. However, a small amount of condiments, such as pepper, sour vinegar, etc., are still acceptable.
