Pictures of sagging breasts after breastfeeding

Are you worried that after breastfeeding your breasts will no longer be as proud as they were before, and that terms like "deep V", "breasts" and "swimsuit" are getting further and further away from you? Generally, after weaning, the breasts will basically return to the size they were during pregnancy. Of course, if you want to restore to a more ideal state, your actions are particularly important; the following methods will give you the confidence to look up and the happiness to look down. Come on, take action together and have a hot summer.

1. Breast changes you don’t know about

If you want to treat yourself better as soon as possible, you must first start by knowing yourself. Starting from about the second month of pregnancy, under the influence of hormone changes, the mammary glands begin to grow and develop. The mammary glands make the breasts plump and appear fuller. After giving birth, in order to quickly convert milk into breast milk, the mammary glands continue to grow and develop, causing the breasts to continue to expand.

From the time a pregnant woman gives birth and the baby takes his first bite of milk to the time he is weaned, it takes about a year for the mammary gland to slowly recover to the state before pregnancy, and the breasts will naturally shrink. Of course, you get what you sow. If you want to restore to a more ideal state, your actions are particularly important.

2. Master the appropriate breastfeeding method

The correct way to drink milk is to let the baby hold the nipple and most of the nipples. If the baby only holds the nipple, the sucking pressure will be concentrated on the nipple, which will stretch the nipple too much and cause nipple cracking.

Regular breastfeeding is good for the breasts and milk secretion. The time interval between two breastfeedings should not be too long. Try to empty the milk as much as possible each time you breastfeed, so that the suspensory ligaments of the breast can be stretched and relaxed, maintaining a good elastic repair function. At the same time, you should ensure that both breasts are fed in turn to avoid differences in the two breasts.

Use a manual breast pump to clean the breasts after sucking to prevent milk retention and breast lumps, thereby preventing mastitis. At the same time, breast emptying helps promote the secretion of milk.

3. Choose the right bra

During pregnancy: The pregnant mother's breasts begin to swell slowly, becoming rounder and rounder. A bra that is too tight and too small will hinder the full growth of the breasts. If a bra is not worn at all, the breasts will become loose due to the increased force.

Therefore, choosing a bra with a suitable tightness can not only provide adequate support and protection for the enlarged breasts, but also not restrict the normal growth and development of the breasts, so as to facilitate the successful breastfeeding in the future.

After giving birth: Many mothers do not wear bras after giving birth in order to facilitate breastfeeding, which is definitely wrong. Wearing bras during breastfeeding can support the breasts and prevent excessive stretching of the breast tendons that may cause stretching and rupture of collagen fibers.

Underwear and bras should be washed separately, and breast pads should be used during breastfeeding to prevent the nipples from being stained with fibers and particles, keeping them clean, thereby avoiding allergic symptoms such as nipple itching and eczema caused by blocked milk ducts, and also preventing allergic diseases caused by product absorption.

4. Take good care of your breasts

During pregnancy: Healthy breasts are the prerequisite for creating perfect breast curves, so breast care is also very important. Pregnant mothers should clean their breasts and nipples every day. During pregnancy, the sebaceous glands have abundant metabolism, so it is necessary to clean the scale and scab on the nipples.

Cleaning and massaging the breasts can soften the breasts, make the breast skin smooth, help promote the growth and development of mammary gland tubes, make them unobstructed, and ensure sufficient secretion of milk. Cleaning the nipples and gently massaging them every day can increase their elasticity, make the nipple skin thicker and tougher, thereby increasing tolerance to sucking after childbirth and reducing the chance of nipple cracking after childbirth.

After giving birth: During breastfeeding, due to the sucking of the product, the nipples are soaked with milk, and the friction of underwear can easily cause nipple dryness, damage or eczema. The nipples and nipples should be gently cleaned with warm water before and after each feeding, and wiped clean to keep the parts clean and dry.

If the nipple is damaged, you should use a manual breast pump to suck out the milk and put it into a container for feeding, or put a special nipple protection cover on the nipple and nipple to allow the product to suck indirectly, so that the cracked nipple can heal as soon as possible.
