When the breast-blocking prolactin can knead the milk several times, the local pressure is high, and the edema squeezes into the mammary duct, making it more difficult to discharge the milk. If you directly press and knead the hard lump, it is equivalent to applying external force to the edema tissue. Not only can the milk not be discharged much, but more importantly, it will cause damage to breast tissue, lymphatic tissue and skin by external forces. Many mastitis and even suppurative mastitis are caused by improper massage! Mom should know that vigorous kneading is not conducive to milk discharge, but will increase new harm!
How does the lump become smaller?
The premise that the milk at the congestion position can be discharged is that the mammary duct at the front exit position, that is, the areola, should be unblocked. Only when the milk at the door is discharged smoothly, the milk at the distal silting position can flow forward slowly and finally be discharged. External application of detumescence drugs on lumps can help milk to be excreted faster.
Mom needs to know that it's more effective.
1, swelling is more important: apply Chinese cabbage (Chinese cabbage/potato chips/aloe gel/aloe cream/cactus cream) to the hard part and change it every 20 minutes or so. (Or use Ruyi Gold Powder/Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae Powder to mix vinegar and apply externally for 40 minutes, twice a day)
2. Help the milk to be discharged faster: when the baby's breast posture is correct, feed the baby frequently.
3, promote body fluid circulation: timely hydration, pay attention to rest.
4. Seek professional support: please ask the lactation guide to massage and discharge accumulated milk in a professional way.
What else can't mom do?
1, hot compress: Although hot compress can promote blood circulation, it will aggravate edema.
2, breast pump suction: If the mammary duct is not smooth, it is not suitable for using a breast pump, and strong suction is easy to damage the breast.
3, the baby eats milk too often: eating milk too often will make the baby uninterested, take a few bites and leave. This stimulates the milk matrix but does not suck it away in time, which is easy to increase the siltation area.
4, comb scraping: the comb only acts on the skin surface, which is basically not helpful for milking.
When you meet your mother for help, you should also pay attention to asking, how long has the lump appeared? What did you do to yourself? Only in this way can I give my mother more comprehensive and effective guidance and help.
Rub it hard when blocking milk, and the more you rub it, the more swollen it becomes.
"I'm stuck in milk! The child can't get through. Yue Yue and her husband rubbed it for half an hour, but it didn't get smaller, but it hurt more. What should I do? " Breast-feeding instructors often receive similar help from mothers, because in nine cases, everyone will try their best to knead first, and only when the kneading is not good but worse will they realize the seriousness of the problem. Then how to explain how to shake the deep-rooted concept of "rubbing when encountering a lump"? We need to tell this knowledge to our mother.
The fastest way to solve breast blockage is breast blockage, also called milk deposition, which is caused by milk deposition in the mammary duct. The best breast pump is the baby's sucking.
When the milk blockage is not serious, let the baby suck milk as soon as possible, pay attention to the correct breastfeeding posture, suck one breast first and then the other breast, and pay attention to the breastfeeding frequency. The unfinished milk can be sucked out with a breast pump, and at the same time, the breast can be massaged to promote milk discharge. In daily life, we should pay attention to keeping nipples clean. We can massage the breasts properly to promote milk secretion and avoid oppressing the breasts for a long time. If the breast blockage is slightly serious, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and ask a professional prolactin for prolactin treatment. It is normal that there may be pain in the early stage of breastfeeding.
Appropriate methods should be adopted as soon as possible when blocking milk, which will cause pain, fever and other symptoms, and even mastitis in severe cases. When breastfeeding a baby, if the baby sucks less milk, there will be milk in the breast. It is necessary to use a breast pump to suck out the remaining milk, empty the mammary duct, keep the mammary duct unobstructed, and avoid milk blockage.
