What to do if milk swelling and nipple blockage occur after childbirth

After giving birth, pregnant women need to feed their babies with breast milk, but some pregnant women's breast milk is blocked after giving birth, so the baby will not be able to eat the mother's milk. So everyone knows what to do if milk congestion occurs 3 days after giving birth? Next, let’s all understand together what to do if your milk supply is different 3 days after giving birth!

What should I do if my milk becomes blocked 3 days after giving birth?

1. First apply warm cotton towel, then push and massage from the two sides of the breast to the nipple. You can also use a comb or horn comb to comb and massage from the two sides of the breast to the nipple. (The mammary duct grows and develops in a straight line from the toe of the breast to the nipple)

2. If there are lumps in the breast, don't worry, they are milk lumps. While applying heat and massaging the breasts, you must squeeze out the milk, or let the baby suck it out. You can choose to apply heat and massage the breasts when the baby is the hungriest, and then let the baby suck. When your breasts are a little hard, don't choose to use a manual breast pump to pump milk, because the milk secretion is not large, and the manual breast pump will hurt your breasts. It is best to let your family help squeeze it.

3. The correct way to squeeze is to place the thumb and ten fingers on the nipple, first expand outwards towards the nipple, and then squeeze towards the inside of the nipple. Do not squeeze the nipple directly. If you haven't had milk yet, it's best not to eat greasy nourishing soups, so as not to cause breast bloating.

What should I do if my breasts swell after weaning ?

You can use a breast pump to express milk, and don’t worry about not being able to wean your baby off after using a manual breast pump. If the breast pump does not completely suck out the milk, the milk secretion will gradually decrease. Be careful not to drink light food after weaning. Drink malt tea every day. After about one or two weeks, the milk will be gone. There is no need to get a milk-suppressing injection. After the injection, your breasts will become flatter and flatter, and it will be too late to regret it.

I think everyone has read the above content and has a certain understanding of what to do if milk blockage occurs 3 days after giving birth. If the milk is blocked, you can find someone who can help unblock the breasts according to the specific situation of the pregnant woman, or use a manual breast pump to pump it out. This will make the pregnant woman more comfortable and allow the baby to get milk.
