What should I do if my breasts are hard after weaning?

Generally speaking, breastfeeding can last until the baby is six months old. This is because the nutrients in breast milk can no longer provide the baby with normal body needs after six months. Therefore, the baby can be weaned after six months. However, many mothers have reported that their breasts are swollen and a little hard during the weaning process. Is this normal? What should I do if my breasts are swollen and a little hard during weaning? Pregnant women should adopt some appropriate methods to deal with it at this time.

What should I do if my penis is a little hard?

In the later period of weaning, many mothers experience swollen and hard breasts. This is due to milk stasis in the breasts. The accumulated milk forms milk lumps, which can feel like lumps when touched. However, there is generally no need to worry too much. This is a normal condition. Just wait for the milk to stop secreting naturally. You don’t need to take any medicine. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can take the following methods to relieve it:

1. Apply hot compress. Hot compress can relieve breast pain after weaning, because hot compress can make the mammary glands blocked by milk in the breasts unobstructed, so that the circulation of the breasts has certain changes, which is beneficial to weaning. Be careful not to apply heat too high and also be careful to avoid applying heat to the nipples to avoid burns.

2. Massage. In addition to hot compress, you can also massage the breasts. The specific method is to hold one breast with both hands, and slowly start from the bottom of the breast and massage in a clockwise direction to the nipple. Complete the chest massage on one side, and then start massaging the other breast. After completion, squeeze out the milk in the breast.

3. Drink less nourishing soup. Mothers who want to wean their babies should reduce the amount of nourishing soup they drink after weaning, and especially avoid drinking boiled soup, so that they can complete weaning as soon as possible.

Common problems after weaning

1. There is no need to wean in summer. This is because the temperature is relatively hot in summer, and the digestion and absorption function of the baby's digestive tract is not perfect, which may become weak in summer. Giving the baby complementary food after weaning is likely to cause indigestion and make the baby sick. Therefore, it is recommended to wean the baby in spring and autumn.

2. Do not wean your baby when he is sick. If you wean the baby during his illness, not only will the baby's nutrition intake be insufficient, but it may also cause indigestion, which will aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is recommended to wean the baby after his body recovers.

3. Do not wean in a hurry. There is no need to rush to wean the baby. The baby should be given an adaptation process. The proportion of breast milk and baby food can be slowly adjusted so that the baby can be weaned after adapting to the baby food.

I have recommended several solutions to you about what to do if the nipple becomes a little hard after weaning. I hope it can be helpful. In addition, mothers must wean their children from shallow to deep and not too fast. This will not only allow the baby to have an adaptation process, but also mothers will not experience breast pain.
