What to do if the breast is blocked

Blocked mammary glands in women will affect the secretion of milk. At this time, we can let the newborn suck milk to promote the opening of the mammary glands, because the newborn sucking milk can promote the secretion of prolactin in the mother, and the secretion of prolactin can promote the opening of the mammary glands. In addition, the mother should pay attention to a happy mood after delivery and perform appropriate breast massage, which can avoid mammary gland blockage and relieve milk engorgement.

1 Let the baby suck the nipple more

It is best to sleep in the same room with the baby so that the mother can let the baby suck the breast frequently. Repeated and irregular sucking can stimulate the mother's brain to secrete and release prolactin. In addition, as soon as the baby cries, pick him up and feed him to promote the secretion of prolactin in the mother's body and increase the amount of milk secretion.

2 Pay attention to a happy mood after giving birth

Mental factors have a certain impact on postpartum lactation. Therefore, after giving birth, you should pay attention to maintaining a good mood, forget about your worries for a while, put housework behind you, and fully rest your body. Don't worry too much about whether your baby is eating enough or developing normally. Mental excitement and happiness will increase the level of prolactin in the body, thereby increasing milk production as quickly as possible.

3. Breast massage

Before each breastfeeding, cover the left and right breasts with a hot and wet towel, press the nipples and areolas with both palms, and gently massage in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for 10-15 minutes. Massage can not only reduce the breast swelling of the mother, but also promote milk secretion.
