Some nursing mothers hear the word mastitis, they are trembling in their hearts, and they are afraid of not being able to think of the hard, red, swollen, painful breasts after mastitis, fever all over the body and the impact of breastfeeding.
Of course, mastitis is a very common problem during our lactation period, and we have a lot of moms consulting mastitis problems every day in the background.
We often say that mastitis is detected as early as possible, not only for less money, but also less guilty. However, there are many mothers with mastitis fever will find a prolactinator, although dredging a few times can be good, but it is far less easy to find a good dredging early. Therefore, mothers should recognize some signs that mastitis is about to occur, blockages can be unblocked in time, and breast inflammation can be completely avoided.
Below we will talk in detail about some of the "omens" before the occurrence of mastitis, and mothers themselves should pay more attention to eliminate the problem in the bud and avoid suffering greater pain.
1. There is tingling in the breast
What's wrong with tingling in your breasts? Many times it is caused by unobstructed breast ducts, and unobstructed mastoid ducts are particularly prone to breast stasis mastitis.
Therefore, when mothers have breast tingling symptoms during breastfeeding, do not be careless, first let the baby eat more, see if it can be relieved, if not, it is recommended to dredge the breast in time.
2. Babies have obvious preferences for feeding
If the baby eats milk at a certain time and obviously does not like to eat one side, mothers need to pay attention to whether there is milk stasis or blockage of the breast duct on one side of the breast, and the baby is eating hard, and definitely does not like to eat.
What needs everyone to pay attention to is that some mothers have different sizes of breasts on both sides, the amount of milk is also different, the baby has a preference when feeding, this situation is not a precursor to milk stasis, we are talking about the baby has not been picky before, and when this situation suddenly appears, it is necessary for mothers to carefully observe, is not their own breast blockage has not been found.
3. The breasts feel hard to the touch
Breast lumps during lactation are roughly divided into two situations, one is breast hyperplasia, and the other is a hard lump caused by milk stasis.
So how to judge? We need to touch it, the hard block of breast hyperplasia can be slid, and the general swelling is more obvious, the baby will disappear after pumping milk; and the hard block of milk accumulation is generally not slippery, and if it is not treated, it will become larger and larger.
Breast hyperplasia during lactation does not need to be treated for the time being, and the hard lumps of milk stasis need to be dredged as soon as possible to drain the stagnant milk.
4. The milk is viscous than usual
Some mothers have the habit of observing their own milk, while others do not. We found that many mastitis mothers excreted much more viscous milk than normal milk, and some of them were slightly yellowish in color.
Some mothers will be slightly viscous after eating some greasy food, but if they have not eaten particularly greasy food, the milk has become viscous, they need to pay more attention to observe their physical condition, if there is mastitis
5. The nipple is sucked under the premise that the latch position is correct
Cracked nipples are often the cause of improper latching, but there is also a situation where the baby sucks too hard, resulting in nipple rupture.
The mother's feeling is that there was milk, but the baby used a lot of strength but could not eat it, at this time we have to consider whether the breast is blocked so that the baby sucks hard and the nipple is injured. If so, unblock the mammary glands in time.
Having said all this, it is not that everyone should become a bird of fright, and the grass and trees are soldiers. Instead, I hope that nursing mothers have more understanding of their own bodies, and perhaps intervene as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of mastitis and even breast abscesses.
While loving children, we must also love ourselves well.
