Diagram of the technique to relieve breast engorgement

Babies who are fed with breast milk will go through the weaning stage when they grow up. After weaning, women will experience milk swelling. Because the baby has not been breastfed for a long time, the breast milk will increase, which will lead to milk swelling. So what are the tips for releasing the milk after weaning?

At this time, milk swelling is more common. To avoid breast inflammation, you can use a hot cotton towel to warm the breasts. In addition, after applying hot compress, you can also use bathing to clean your breasts, and massage your nipples alternately from the bottom, and try not to squeeze out the milk, because squeezing out the milk will cause pain such as breast engorgement.

You can also take a shower or a bath to relieve breast pain. In addition, after weaning, you can also take some milk-reducing medicines or foods to reduce the amount of breast milk, which can reduce the occurrence of breast pain in women. At this time, you don’t need to eat too much greasy food to prevent the breast milk from increasing.

If the body has a fever when the breasts are swollen, it is probably caused by breast inflammation. At this time, you can go to the hospital for examination, or take some anti-inflammatory drugs. Gradually, the breast inflammation will subside. It should go through at least three days after weaning. The subsequent pain will gradually pass this stage, the breast milk will become less, and the milk swelling will subside.

What should I pay attention to when using weaning water?

During the weaning period, mothers need to pay attention to the following:

1. Think carefully before weaning your baby. Is it time to wean your baby when he grows up, or is it because you have encountered difficulties with breastfeeding and want to give it up? If you just encounter difficulties, you can ask your family, friends or doctors for help.

2. Choose a good time for weaning water, preferably in spring or autumn when the temperature is better.

3. After weaning when the baby is in good condition, prevent the baby from getting sick due to unsuitable weaning water or having a poor appetite.

4. Of course it is better after weaning. In the later period of weaning, do not eat peanuts, pig's feet and other milk-producing foods, and try not to drink light food to avoid aggravating milk swelling.

5. Try not to squeeze or let the baby suck when the milk is swollen in the late weaning period. If it is really uncomfortable, you can squeeze out some of it, but don't squeeze it all out to avoid prolonging the weaning time.

6. Eat more milk-reducing foods to help with milk withdrawal.

7. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can see a doctor for consultation, and the doctor will take effective measures based on the situation.

8. Prevent mastitis during the weaning period.
