What to do if you have breast lumps during lactation?

Nowadays, many mothers will have this problem after giving birth and during breastfeeding, that is, lumps in the breasts during lactation. I believe that when this symptom appears at this time, all mothers will not take it lightly. So what should they do in this situation? Now I will tell you how to deal with this symptom if it occurs.

Use a clean towel dipped in warm water, wipe in a circular motion from the center of the nipple to the areola, apply hot compresses on both sides alternately, 15 minutes on each side, and massage in the following ways:

a. Circular massage

b. Place your hands on the upper and lower parts of the breast and massage the entire breast in a circular direction;

c. Spiral massage

d. Hold the breast with one hand, and use the index and middle fingers of the other hand to massage in a spiral shape towards the nipple;

e. Acupressure massage

f. Open your hands and place them on both sides of your breasts, squeezing from the breasts to the nipples.

In summary, there are two methods, both of which soften the hard lump and then try to suck it out:

1. Massage method: If there are lumps in the breasts during lactation, use a hot towel to apply heat. When massaging, rotate in small circles from the outside of the breasts toward the nipples, and then gently rub the nipples with your thumb and index finger.

2. Massage + milk pumping: If there are lumps in the breasts during lactation, use a hot towel to apply heat. After the lumps become soft, the father or baby can suck out the milk, trying to suck it out as cleanly as possible.

The above is an introduction to how to deal with breast lumps during lactation. I believe that after the editor’s previous introduction, every mother should know what to do. This is the time for the mother to give nutrition to the child. The health of the mother’s breasts is directly related to the health of breast milk, so every mother will pay great attention to the breasts at this time. At the same time, it is because of this attention that they can give their children a healthy body.
