What should I do if my breasts hurt and have lumps after lactation?

It is recommended to drink the decoction of the Chinese medicinal herb Tongcao, apply warm compress to the breasts, massage the nipple area with a large amplitude to remove the accumulated milk lumps, and use a manual breast pump to express milk to drain the accumulated milk as much as possible.

1. Improve the baby's sucking. Experiments have confirmed that after the baby drinks milk, the prolactin in the mother's blood will double. This is because the baby sucking the nipple can promote the mother's hypothalamus-pituitary gland to secrete lactation hormone, thereby increasing the secretion of milk.

2. Avoid taking medicine. During breastfeeding, mothers should not take any medicine randomly. Some medicines and foods can affect the metabolism of breast milk, such as anti-thyroid cyst drugs, hawthorn berry, etc. If you are sick, it is best to take medicine under the advice of a doctor.

3. Supplement nutrients. All kinds of nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal secretion of milk. During breastfeeding, you can choose nutritious foods, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. In addition, prepare some nourishing soup in advance, which can catalyze the secretion of milk.

4. Maintain a stable mindset. After giving birth, the mother's mood fluctuates greatly due to physiological and environmental factors, and she often feels depressed, which will hinder milk secretion. Medical research shows that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will be significantly reduced. Therefore, mothers should adjust their mental state and remain optimistic and cheerful. Relatives should also create a good living environment and pay more attention to the mother's mental health.

5. Diet therapy. On the basis of taking the above measures, combining with lactation-promoting foods will have a more significant effect. Foods such as pig's feet and peanut kernels have a good effect on the secretion of milk.

Massage techniques to promote lactation

If mothers want to have enough breast milk, in addition to supplementing themselves with sufficient nutrients, proper and scientific feeding of the baby can also make the breast milk continue to increase. At the same time, I have summarized some lactation massage techniques to help mothers with insufficient milk. Follow me and read on.

1. If pregnant women want to have sufficient breast milk after giving birth and their breasts to secrete milk healthily, they should massage their breasts around five months of pregnancy. This can improve breast blood circulation and prevent the breasts from developing some diseases after giving birth that affect breastfeeding.

2. Insufficient milk may sometimes be caused by blockage of the milk ducts, which makes the milk ducts less smooth. In this case, we need to perform nipple massage to eliminate the blockage.

You can hold the bottom of the breast with one hand and use the other hand to squeeze the nipple area gently. Until the nipple and nipple become slightly soft, pinch the nipple with three fingers and gently stretch it outward, constantly changing the position and rotating 360 degrees. Repeat the above posture.

3. You can also use both hands to gently support the bottom of the breasts, slowly push the two breasts to the middle position and keep the two nipples close to each other, just like we usually knead dough. This can effectively avoid breast obstruction and achieve the effect of increasing milk supply.
