What to do if there is milk accumulation in the accessory breast

During breastfeeding, it is very likely that excessive breast milk will be secreted, which may lead to milk accumulation in the armpits. After squeezing breast milk from the armpits, it is very easy to have accessory breast milk in the armpits. This may make women feel some pain, so they will use some methods to treat it. So what should you do if you have milk accumulation in the armpits?

1. Milk accumulation under the armpits is definitely caused by excessive secretion of breast milk. If the baby drinks very little, you should use a breast pump to suck out the excess breast milk, so that milk accumulation will not occur. If milk accumulation has already occurred, you should let the baby suck more, so that the armpit accessory milk can disappear. At the same time, you can also use force to rub that area apart, which can also help alleviate the milk accumulation.

2. Of course, in order to avoid excessive secretion of breast milk, you should not often eat foods that promote breast milk secretion. This may cause more breast milk secretion and may cause milk accumulation. It is best to eat nutritious foods once in a while. You should eat more fruits and vegetables, or some light dishes on a daily basis.

3. If the milk accumulation is very serious and there are some uncomfortable symptoms, you can use a warm towel to apply heat for about 10 minutes each time. If you feel that the towel is not hot anymore, you can change it again. Each time should not be too long. This way, the milk accumulation can be reduced slowly and the pain caused by milk accumulation can be relieved. In addition, try to wear loose clothes in your daily dressing to avoid irritating the breasts.

Breast Care During Lactation

During breastfeeding, breasts are the main source of nutrients needed by babies. Good breast care during breastfeeding is not only beneficial to breastfeeding for babies, but also a kind of care for the mother herself. Breast health care during lactation is to maintain the physical and mental health of breast tissue and ensure smooth breast milk secretion. Breast care during lactation is very important for successful breastfeeding, especially in the first few months.

What adverse effects will occur if breast care is neglected during breastfeeding or if care is not provided in time? In addition to causing the baby to "go without food", it may also cause the mother to suffer from mastitis and other problems. This problem can be avoided if the breasts can get proper medical care or the mother masters certain methods.
