Can I massage the hard lumps with my hands?

It is a normal physiological phenomenon that lumps appear during weaning. This physiological phenomenon will cause breast pain and breast deformation in women. Women are required to perform breast massage and apply hot towels to their breasts during the weaning stage. They can also drain the milk during the weaning period, which will help relieve the pain caused by weaning. For the lumps caused by weaning, massaging the breasts with your hands is very effective and can quickly dissolve the lumps.

Can I massage the hard lumps with my hands?

1. When weaning, due to the accumulation of milk, it cannot be discharged in time, which may cause local blockage of the breast, formation of lumps, and tenderness. It is okay to massage with your hands. However, if you want to massage with your hands, it is recommended to find a professional masseur.

2. Promote the decomposition of lumps through massage or hot compress. If the lump melts away, milk comes out, and there is no breast pain, there is no need to squeeze it out. You can continue massaging to prevent the lump from forming again and help with milk weaning.

What should you pay attention to when weaning?

1. If your breasts are swollen and uncomfortable, you can squeeze out the milk, but don't squeeze it out completely, otherwise it will promote milk secretion and have the opposite effect.

2. During the weaning period, you should pay attention to reducing stimulation to the breasts and nipples. The secretion of prolactin will decrease accordingly, and the secretion of milk will gradually decrease. Never let your baby suck your breast milk or touch it, and avoid using hot water to rinse your breasts when taking a shower.

3. You can use ice packs to cool your breasts to relieve the feeling of swelling.

4. If you find a lump in your breast, rub it with your hands in time to prevent mastitis.

You can rub the lumps that appear when weaning by hand, but it is recommended that if you don’t know how to rub, you can find a professional masseur to help you, and try to keep your hands warm on the massage area. If the swelling is uncomfortable, use a breast pump to remove the milk to reduce the swelling. However, if the pain lasts too long, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment and take medicine or infusion to relieve the symptoms.

How many days does it take to wean?

How many days does it take for mothers to stop breastfeeding after weaning? How many days does it take for mothers to stop breastfeeding? Nowadays, mothers may think that stopping breastfeeding is a very painful thing or a long process and want to use drugs to stop breastfeeding quickly. However, modern science shows that it is not recommended for mothers to take milk-reducing drugs or injections to reduce milk production, but rather to use the "natural milk-reducing" method. Generally speaking, it takes a mother several days to a week to completely reduce her milk production.

In the process of weaning, some mothers do not drink soup, blindly adopt the so-called "quick weaning method", and even use a towel to strangle the chest and seal the nipple with tape. This obviously violates the physiological law and can easily cause breast pain. So weaning must be done scientifically. In addition, weaning is not just a matter for mother and baby. In this process, fathers also play a key role. For example, before weaning, the father or family members coax the baby to sleep, and the mother stays away for a while, and then try to encourage the baby to drink more milk, etc.
