How to quickly relieve milk blockage

For breastfeeding mothers, daily life is not only about taking care of the baby, but also about supplementing different nutrients to prepare enough breast milk for the baby. But some mothers encounter the problem of milk blockage. Generally speaking, milk blockage can cause great pain to mothers. Physical discomfort can easily affect your mood. So, is there any method that can help mothers to quickly release milk?

Many pregnant mothers have experienced postpartum milk blockage (early stage of mastitis), which is a headache for many pregnant mothers who are breastfeeding. Some pregnant mothers even experience it once or twice a month. Mild blockages can be sucked out by the baby, but severe ones must be treated with milk dredging or go to the hospital.

Many people think that if the mother has milk blockage, it will be enough to let the baby drink milk powder first. In fact, the damage caused by milk blockage is far greater than everyone imagines. If mothers do not pay attention to the signs of milk blockage, it will increase the risk of mastitis and even cause bacterial growth or suppurative infection. Next, the editor will tell you how to deal with the problem of milk duct blockage: 1. Hot compress and massage. Hot compress on the chest is the most common way to alleviate the symptoms of milk duct blockage. Under normal circumstances, hot compresses can dissolve the lumps that block the milk and make it flow smoothly. When signs of milk blockage appear, mothers can try applying hot towels to the breasts. First, mothers should prepare hot towels and apply them to their breasts. If the mother is in good health, she can use ice and hot compresses alternately. However, mothers should remember to prepare a towel to clean out the blocked milk after applying the mask to prevent infection. 2. The massage and sucking method causes milk blockage because the milk is blocked in the breast and cannot be cleared. At this time, if the blockage in the breast is unblocked, the symptoms of milk blockage will naturally be alleviated. Mothers can first insert their fingers into the blocked milk duct, and gently massage the milk outlet with their hands to draw out the milk. In addition, mothers should use a breast pump to suck out blocked milk. When the blocked milk is unblocked, the symptoms of milk blockage in mothers will also be alleviated.

3. Let the baby suck the nipple more often to show signs of milk blockage. The baby can be a good assistant for the mother to release milk. 1. When facing the milk in the mouth, the baby will be more eager to suck hard, which will help mothers to unclog the milk. On the other hand, letting the baby help suck the milk is healthier and has no side effects than for the expectant mother to prick it with a needle. If the expectant mother has already used a needle to prick the milk blockage, do not let the baby suck it to avoid infecting the baby. 4. Healthy lifestyle. I believe many pregnant mothers don’t know that the signs of milk clogging in mothers are also affected by their unhealthy lifestyle. If mothers often stay up late or are in a state of mental tension for a long time, the secretion of the body will naturally be affected, which makes it easier to show signs of milk blockage. Therefore, for the health of the baby, mothers should remember to adjust their own rhythm of life and maintain a good mental state to welcome life.

Pregnant mothers should pay close attention to their breasts and nipples. After the nipple is cracked, be sure to keep it clean, otherwise bacterial invasion can easily spread mastitis; once a lump forms in the breast, it should be dealt with as soon as possible. If it does not get better after 3 or 4 days, pay attention to whether the lump is red or swollen, and whether it has a fever. If so, go to the hospital for anti-inflammatory treatment as soon as possible.
