How to prevent breast lumps? It’s a concern that moms have for each other.

Lumps in the breasts are caused by milk congestion. The main reasons are incomplete nipple development, too much breast milk or the baby sucking less milk, which causes milk congestion and produces small lumps. In such a situation, you need to apply heat, soak a towel in hot water, cover the center of the lump with the towel, gently massage to soften the lump, and then expel it to avoid blocking the milk duct.

It is very important to prevent breast blockage. When breastfeeding, you must pay attention to balanced feeding, and both breasts must be fed each time. The remaining milk should be discharged with a manual breast pump. Do not let the remaining milk remain in the breasts, as it is easy to cause swelling and form lumps.

The breastfeeding method is also very important. The mother should relax herself and feed the baby with the correct posture, gently pinch the breast and gently touch the baby's upper lip, wait for the baby to open his mouth, let the baby close to the breast, and hold the nipple and nipple at the same time, instead of just holding the nipple.

What to do if you have breast lumps during breastfeeding

Method/Process

1. Grind the antler slices into powder (large and medium-sized Chinese medicine halls have existing antler powder for sale) and decoct it for Chinese medicine. Decoct the antelope horns separately (to avoid inflammation, it is best to boil a little more and take it as normal boiling water. Antelope horns are cool in nature and people with cold body and weak constitution should use them with caution.

2. Prepare a basin of boiling water in advance (note that it is warm water, not the boiling water that many people say, and the hotter the better, hot water will always indirectly cause mastitis). Take a clean cotton towel, touch the water and dry it, and apply it to the clumping area for 1 or 2 minutes.

3. Use both hands to rub the clumping area until the milk clots shrink (of course it will be painful, but dear good mothers, for the sake of the baby to eat healthy milk, just bear with it and be happy. If you can't do it yourself, you can find a male agent to help you, of course you can also find a lactation consultant, which will save trouble)

4. Let the baby suck (let the baby suck the nipple directly with his mouth, so that the force will be greater), and you will find that the two milk ducts are unblocked. Repeat the above steps: hot compress - kneading - sucking, until the milk lumps disappear!
