How to clear the blocked breast of pregnant women

Many pregnant women will have blocked mammary glands right after giving birth, which worries many pregnant women. In fact, some pregnant women do not secrete little milk on their own, but it may be because the mammary glands are blocked. Then, of course, the milk cannot be secreted and the baby cannot get milk. So how can we unblock blocked breasts in pregnant women?

If a pregnant woman has blocked milk ducts, it will cause milk accumulation. If it is not unblocked in time, the accumulation will become heavier, causing breast inflammation and the possibility of cysts.

1. Adults help with sucking. Newborn babies are very small and have little strength, so when they wake up, they have relatively little strength and therefore cannot pump out milk. At this time, an adult can help with sucking, and many families use this method to clear the mammary ducts of pregnant women.

2. Apply hot compress and massage. Why don't we apply a hot towel to our breasts first? Of course, heating is only the first step. After applying heat for about ten minutes, you can massage slightly. Generally, massage from both sides of the breasts toward the nipples. This can quickly unblock the blocked mammary ducts. If you persist in applying heat and massage every day, you will be able to secrete milk quickly.

3. Manual breast pump. There is also a more common method, which is to use a manual breast pump. Compared with heat and massage, the use of a manual breast pump is very convenient. When using this method, you must make sure that your breasts are relatively soft before using it. If your breasts feel a little hard, do not use a manual breast pump, as this will hurt your breasts.
