What should I do if there are lumps in my breasts when I am weaning?

Weaning is very important for women, because when the quality of milk cannot meet the needs of the baby, it is of no value. It needs to be eliminated in time to ensure the health of women's breasts and reduce the incidence of breast inflammation. The process of weaning is quite difficult for some women, because it may induce some breast inflammation. Let’s take a look at what to do if there are lumps in the breast when weaning.

1. Generally, Chinese medicine hospitals will have special internal milk-reducing powders and external milk-removing bags for postpartum women, which have good effects when used together. But special attention should be paid to the following: first, before use, you should emphasize to the doctor whether you and your baby are allergic to any food or topical medications; second, when using topical medications, it is best to make a homemade medicine bag to prevent skin burns!

2. Fennel, as a vegetable, is a common dish on people's home tables, but many people don't know that it is actually a good helper for weaning. When the mother decides to wean the baby, drinking some fennel soup every day is very effective in smoothly weaning, and it also helps prevent constipation.

3. If a lump has appeared, the swelling must be reduced in time, otherwise it will cause high fever. Use a slightly hot towel to warm the breasts several times, apply lotion evenly, and then use a comb to comb the lumps. It will be very painful at first, but you must bear it, and insist on combing every day. This will be very effective in reducing swelling.

4. If the baby has a fever, the mother can take an appropriate amount of anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor. However, if the baby is still breastfeeding at this time, the mother must take anti-inflammatory drugs that the baby can also take.

5. Generally, do not stop breastfeeding immediately during the weaning period. On the one hand, the child cannot bear it, and on the other hand, the mother may easily have excessive milk accumulation and lumps. The frequency and duration of breastfeeding should be gradually reduced. If the milk is really swollen, a breast pump should be used to remove the excess milk. This will ensure fresh nutrition for the baby and is beneficial to the mother's health.

Precautions

Almost every breastfeeding mother will encounter the problem of lumps during the weaning period. In addition to the above methods, mood is also very important. You must keep a happy and comfortable mood during breastfeeding and weaning. Even if problems occur, the symptoms will be relatively mild and easy to recover!
