What to do if a woman's breasts become shriveled after breastfeeding

The lactation period is a period that almost every woman will face. It mainly refers to the period of breastfeeding for the baby after pregnancy. As we all know, breastfeeding has a great impact on women's breast shape. Basically every woman will have the problem of dry breasts after breastfeeding. So, how can we prevent and alleviate the problem of dry breasts after breastfeeding?

1. Correct breastfeeding

Correct breastfeeding during breastfeeding. During the breastfeeding period, the mother should adopt the correct breastfeeding method and feed the two breasts alternately. When the baby only eats one breast, the mother should use a breast pump to empty the other breast to keep the size of the two breasts symmetrical. At the same time, do not let the baby pull on the nipple when feeding. During breastfeeding, mastitis should be avoided.

2. Wear a bra regularly

Insist on wearing a bra. You should insist on wearing a bra from the beginning of breastfeeding. If you don't wear a bra, your breasts will sag noticeably due to the added weight. Especially when the breasts are shaken violently while working or walking, the sagging will be more obvious. Wearing a bra can support and hold the breasts, which can improve blood circulation in the breasts, promote milk secretion and enhance the breasts' resistance to disease, and can also protect the nipples from abrasions and scratches. When wearing a bra, choose a style that is the right size and has a steel support. After putting it on, adjust it and use both hands to gather the fat around the breasts into the bra to make the breasts look fuller and more upright.

3. Perform proper massage and exercise

1. Direct breast push

First, use the palm of your right hand to apply force to the upper part of the left breast, just below the clavicle, and push down evenly and gently to the base of the breast, then push back up along the original route. After doing this 20 to 50 times, switch to your left hand and massage the right breast 20 to 50 times.

2. Lateral breast push

Use the base and palm of your left hand to apply force from the middle of the chest, push and press the right breast horizontally to the armpit. When returning, use the five fingers to bring the breast tissue back. After repeating 20 to 50 times, switch to the right hand to massage the left breast 20 to 50 times.

3. Hot compress and breast massage

Before going to bed every night, apply hot towels to both sides of the breasts for 3 to 5 minutes, and massage the area around the breasts with the palm of your hand, from left to right, 20 to 50 times. Just massage once a day according to the above method and persist for 2 to 3 months, and your breasts will rise 2 to 3 centimeters.

4. Physical Exercise

Exercise is a good way to enlarge your breasts. Participate in physical exercise, pay special attention to exercising the chest muscles, develop the pectoralis major muscles and promote fuller breasts. Pay attention to your standing and walking posture, and always keep your chest up and stomach in to facilitate breast development. Swimming is especially helpful for healthy breasts.
