How to eliminate the pain of lumps during breastfeeding

Many mothers often encounter some complicated problems after giving birth, such as lumps in the breasts. This type of problem is relatively common, but mothers are also worried about whether it will affect the baby's breastfeeding. So how to eliminate lumps in the breasts during breastfeeding?

1. The most common reason for lumps in the breasts during breastfeeding is the accumulation of breast milk, which makes it impossible to be discharged, resulting in lumps. It is recommended that mothers apply hot tap water before massage, which can relieve pain and squeeze out the remaining breast milk; at the same time, let the baby suck the nipple more, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of lumps.

2. If the lump problem still does not improve after hot compress and massage, you need to consider the possibility of mastitis, go to the hospital for examination, and then treat it according to the doctor's instructions. If the swelling and pain persists for a long time, you can ask a lactation consultant to help with massage. If the mother also has symptoms of fever and yellowing breast milk, it may be an inflammation and infection, and breastfeeding should be stopped at this time. Usually, you should pay more attention to the daily cleaning of your breasts, avoid eating cold and spicy foods, and drink more water.

3. Lumps in the breast can be removed by using a manual breast pump. The deposited breast milk is in the breast, and the manual breast pump can just suck out all the remaining milk, which can unblock the mammary glands and remove the lumps. When breastfeeding your baby, mothers should also pay attention to the balance of both sides of the breasts and do a good job of maintenance.
