Breast pimples during lactation

A lactating mother's breasts are the baby's treasure. Whether the baby can eat well and be full basically depends on the milk in the mother's breasts. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers need to pay special attention to breast health at this time. Some breastfeeding mothers will experience pimples on their breasts during lactation. There are usually many reasons for this situation, which may be allergies or skin problems. So let us analyze in detail the reasons for pimples on the breasts during lactation.

If red bumps appear on the breasts during lactation, it may be prickly heat. The mother may be wearing too many clothes, or the indoor temperature may be too high. After feeding the baby, milk will remain around the breasts. This causes red bumps on the mother's breasts, which is a symptom of heat rash. Don't be nervous.

Red bumps on the breasts may also be caused by infection. Before feeding the baby, be sure to wipe the breasts with warm water to disinfect them and keep them free of bacteria. If the breasts are infected, red bumps will grow, so mothers must pay attention to protecting breast hygiene. Don't pass germs to your baby.

Note:

Usually, you must pay attention to drinking plenty of water, pay attention to maintaining breast hygiene, avoid eating spicy foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and foods rich in vitamins. Going out for more outdoor exercise and maintaining a good mood are both beneficial to the health of breastfeeding mothers.

After delivery, breasts are very important for both mother and baby and must be carefully cared for. Here are some breast care methods that affect breasts during lactation.

Breast care during lactation

1. Gently massage the breasts before breastfeeding to help stimulate the milk ejection reflex.

2. Avoid using soap or alcohol to avoid causing local skin dryness and cracking. If necessary, clean the nipples and areola with a milk wipe containing only clean water.

3. During breastfeeding, you should pay attention to whether the baby sucks most of the areola. If the baby's sucking posture is incorrect or the mother feels nipple pain, she should suck again to correct it.

4. At the end of breastfeeding, do not pull out the nipple forcibly, as pulling out the nipple under the negative pressure of the oral cavity may cause local pain or skin damage. The baby should be allowed to open his mouth and the nipple should fall out naturally.

5. Each time you breastfeed, you should alternate between the two breasts and squeeze out the remaining milk. This can increase milk secretion and prevent milk duct blockage and unequal breast sizes.
