During breastfeeding, milk accumulates and causes lumps in the breasts, which can be very painful. If the lump continues to develop without treatment, it may lead to more serious symptoms. Therefore, timely treatment and care are very important. Let’s take a look at what to do if you have lumps and pain in your breasts during breastfeeding? 1. Hot compress: After soaking the cotton towel in boiling water, apply heat to the breasts as much as possible without damaging the skin. Be sure to apply heat to all areas with lumps. In addition, you can gently massage them while applying heat to soften the lumps in the breasts and relieve the feeling of swelling. 2. Massage: After taking the towel, you can do massage. When massaging, you can use your middle thumb, ring finger and the tip of your right ring finger to rub the impacted area at the same time. The lump may still be a little hard, but that’s okay, again. Soak the towel in boiling water, apply heat again, and massage at the same time. Repeat the above three steps, and you will feel a slight change around the lump. 3. Let the baby suck the nipple: In addition to hot compress and massage, you should also pay attention to cleaning the nipple and let the baby suck. The baby's sucking can stimulate the breasts better, which can also accelerate the smoothness of the mammary glands. It can immediately relieve the discomfort of breast swelling in mothers, and it is also very beneficial for the metabolism of milk, allowing children to drink milk healthily. |
