Is potato chips useful for lactation? Chinese medicine believes that potatoes are "sweet and non-toxic, can strengthen the spleen and stomach, diminish inflammation and relieve pain", which has a good therapeutic effect on people with weak spleen and stomach and gastrointestinal obstruction, while increasing milk is to apply potato chips, which can effectively prevent inflammation and deterioration of milk and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
For most of the milk blocking, the methods can be taken: do not press and knead vigorously, and do not apply hot compress. The correct treatment method: cold compress cabbage leaves or potato chips at room temperature to avoid nipple areola, and try not to exceed 20 minutes at a time. After application, cooperate with the baby to suck more. When sucking, the chin is aimed at the lump, and the lump can be used in the upper part. Note: It is better to squeeze the juice from cabbage leaves with a rolling pin, which is recommended by WHO, because it contains an enzyme that has the effect of reducing swelling, and potato chips have the same effect.
The most common causes of milk stasis:
1. The frequency of milk removal is not enough.
Why is the milk blocked? Female mammary duct, like blood vessels, was very thin at that time. Milk deposition is the most common reason, that is, milk is not discharged in time. How to make the milk discharged in time? Feeding on demand.
2. The posture of holding the breast is incorrect.
The baby contains milk incorrectly, which leads to low sucking efficiency and milk blockage. Therefore, the posture with milk is very important. The simple method is to cut potato slices and apply them at 0: 00 p.m./kloc-0: 00 p.m., and then change one when the baby gets up to eat, and then suck it with a breast pump. After changing more than 5 slices continuously, the breast lumps will be eliminated better.
In fact, it is not so easy to dredge the milk knot with potato chips. Simply applying potato chips can't completely dredge the milk knot. Generally, applying potato chips to the swollen part can only play a role in relieving swelling pain, but it has no obvious effect on eliminating the milk knot. If you want to eliminate the symptoms of milk knot, you still need to use other methods.
The principle and practice of applying potato chips to reduce swelling: Potatoes are rich in potassium, which can not only help the body to discharge the sodium trapped in the body, but also promote the body to discharge excess water, thus achieving the effect of reducing swelling and diminishing inflammation.
If you want to dredge the milk knot, you must do more massage. You can sit for a while and massage before feeding. The method of milk knot massage is as follows:
Two-fingered massage:
The thumb and forefinger are C-shaped, placed on the outside of areola, and then squeezed to the nipple root after expanding outwards. Continue to do this action and slowly speed up the manipulation, and the milk will flow out quickly.
Three-fingered massage:
The thumb, forefinger and middle finger stand on the outside of the areola, press them down in the same way as the two fingers and then milk them. Do it for more than five minutes, eat more and row more, and the milk will soon increase. You know, milk is eaten, not saved, so you should massage and milk regularly.
