2. How to prevent breast lumps after giving birth

1. Pay attention to the cleaning of nipples and nipples in the later stages of pregnancy. You can gently clean them with warm water when taking a bath to exercise the nipple skin so that the nipples can tolerate the baby's sucking after giving birth.

2. In the late pregnancy, there are many nipple scars and they are hard. You can use a small piece of gauze to stick a small amount of boiled and cooled cooking oil or baby lotion on the nipple. After the scab softens, use warm water to gently wash off the scab. Never peel it off forcibly.

3. Adopt proper breastfeeding posture and correct the baby's sucking method. Let the baby open his mouth wide and put the nipple and most of the nipples in his mouth to suck. Avoid letting the baby fall asleep with the nipple in his mouth.

4. Wash the nipples with warm water before breastfeeding. Do not use soap, ethanol or other irritants to wash the nipples. After weaning, leave a drop of milk on the nipples to help maintain the nipple skin.

5. If the baby has not completely drained the breast after each weaning, you can use a manual breast pump or hand-compress the milk to drain the breast. Let your child finish one side each time before eating the other side.
