Patting your arms to eliminate milk knots

Milk lumps are quite common during lactation. The main reason is that the baby does not finish drinking the milk produced by the breasts, so the milk accumulates in the breasts and eventually forms hard lumps. When milk knots appear, they must be resolved. Patting the arms to eliminate milk knots is one way to do it. However, the elimination of milk knots must be done with caution. The cause must be understood and targeted solutions can truly solve the problem. The choice of method depends on your own situation.

First of all, we need to analyze the cause of milk lumps. Is it because of not feeding in time or because of breast problems? These need to be analyzed clearly and cannot be dealt with blindly! Otherwise it’s our mother who will get hurt! The mother must find out the reason. If she is really not sure about the reason, then she must go to a regular hospital for a check-up and then take good care of it!

The cause has been analyzed clearly. It is because the milk clumps are caused by not feeding the baby in time. If it does not last long, we can apply a hot towel, but the water should not be too hot! And the nipples cannot be applied, and the skin must not be burned. When applying, remember to make it in a circle. When it gets cold, put it in hot water, wring it dry and apply it again. Repeat this cycle for about 6 minutes. The milk knots will alternate between cold and hot, and minor milk knots will disappear quickly. The effect should be good.

If the milk knot is not lasting for a long time, we can also remove it ourselves, or ask the husband to help, by rubbing circles on the breast with even force. It may be a little painful at the beginning. At this time, the mother must think about the baby and persist. Once the knot is loosened, the breast will not be so painful, and the baby can drink milk smoothly. Otherwise, the milk will be stuck, which means the baby has no milk to drink. Generally, milk knots can be loosened.

Milk knots are milk blocked in the breasts. We can also use a breast pump to suck out the milk in the breasts, or we can be gentle and then use a breast pump to suck out the milk, rubbing for a while and then sucking for a while. The key is to suck out all the milk in the breasts, so that the milk knots will be loosened. Otherwise, the milk knots will last for a long time and there will be no milk, and the baby will not be able to drink milk. That’s why mothers are the greatest. At this time, the mother has to deal with the pain of the milk knots on the one hand and the baby crying for milk on the other. It’s really hard!

If you have applied a towel to the milk knot and softened it but it still doesn't work, then we can ask a lactation consultant to come and help you. Science is so advanced now, there are many lactation consultants, and they will come over with just a phone call. We don't know much about it, but the lactation consultant has seen a lot of pain, so she can just pinch it a few times and it will be unblocked, and the milk will come out. The milk knot will be unblocked in an instant, but it will be very painful if the lactation consultant does it! Mom, you must hold back!

If it doesn't work, then you have to go to a regular hospital. Science is so advanced now, the hospital must have a way to solve it. If the milk knot can be solved, I think spending some money is a small matter. The milk knot must be cleared. Breastfeeding is still very important, especially for newborn babies. They must be breastfed, right? Now that you understand, moms must pay more attention and make sure to feed the baby on time!
