How many days does physiological milk swelling last for parturients?

Women have always been worried about insufficient breast milk metabolism after giving birth to a baby. However, some mothers secrete more breast milk, which is enough for their children, and sometimes physiological milk swelling may occur. When milk is swollen, there is not only a swelling feeling, but also frequent pain. So, how many days does it take for a pregnant woman’s physiological milk to increase?

Many women hope to recover as soon as possible after experiencing physiological breast engorgement. There is no exact time standard for how long it will take to be pain-free. It also depends on whether the pregnant woman takes appropriate measures in time. If the method is appropriate, it will recover in about 1-2 days. If you don't use the right method, it may last longer. When physiological milk swelling occurs, pregnant women can apply ice to the breasts. Everyone should pay attention that you cannot use cold water. You can cut a piece of potato and apply it on the breast.

After giving birth, women need to take targeted measures to prevent physiological milk swelling. The baby should be allowed to suckle as soon as possible, and breastfeeding should be started within 30 minutes after the baby is born. Even if there is no breast milk yet, the baby should be allowed to suckle. This is conducive to the smoothness of the mammary glands and can also stimulate the breasts to secrete more breast milk.

If the pregnant woman secretes too much breast milk and the baby cannot eat it, she needs to use a manual breast pump to extract it to ensure that the breast milk is fully discharged after breastfeeding. This can reduce the possibility of physiological milk engorgement and avoid the formation of milk lumps and milk knots.
