Have you ever cried during the month? Ever been angry?
I believe that the answer to this question for most mothers is: yes.
Someone said that "a thousand confinement women have a thousand reasons to cry". In this special period, the mothers have great emotional ups and downs, coupled with the sensitive and delicate minds of women, and the sudden change of roles, so that many people are confused.
The following few moms' comments you must also have resonance:
Mom Peach: The conflict with my mother-in-law's concept made me really uncomfortable, and she always said don't let me breastfeed, saying that my milk was not nutritious, it was really too depressed, and she secretly cried many times.
Hao Hao's mother: The husband is not considerate enough, nor does he understand, sometimes it is difficult to coax the baby to sleep, he can wake up the child and make people catch fire.
Taotao's mother: As soon as the baby was born, the newborn pneumonia was immediately sent to the pediatric ward, and I didn't see the baby when she was born, so I was worried, anxious and worried.
Crying, can be vented, not the worst, some mothers are sulking in the month, that is really can really hold out the disease. We always say that the anger hurts the body, especially in the confinement, and the consequences are more serious.
Milk is reduced or even returned suddenly
Mothers who are still in the confinement, due to the baby's less demand, sucking strength is not enough, so the amount of milk is extremely unstable, at this time if the mothers are angry, the milk secretion is inevitable.
This is because the secretion of our milk is regulated by hormones, and if we are angry, the secretion of adrenaline increases, which has an inhibitory effect on the secretion of prolactin and oxytocin. If you get angry, the amount of milk and the milk array will become less, affecting the secretion and discharge of milk.
When we women are angry, especially when we are sulking, the qi depression knot cannot be expressed inside the body, resulting in liver qi depression. Milk is qi and blood biochemical, liver depression qi stagnation will definitely make the body qi and blood transport do not work, resulting in less milk or even serious anger directly back to milk.
The main symptoms of hepatic depression and stagnant milk are: the new mother's breasts are swollen, hard, thick milk, dark red tongue or red on the tip of the tongue, thin tongue moss, yellow tongue; maternal bloating, less food (that is, we usually say that you can't eat), fine pulse strings, chest rib swelling pain, channeling pain, emotional depression and unhappiness, good sighing, more belching, milk suddenly reduced and other manifestations.
Workaround:
★ Cry a lot and vent the suffocation in your heart;
★ Pressing the middle point of the body, this is the point of our human body qi, angry and pressed for a while to burp out will be very comfortable;
★ Press and knead too chong acupuncture points, drain the liver and rational qi;
★ Dredging or tapping the liver meridian and bile meridian to let bad emotions flow along the meridians;
★ Listen to soothing music or watch TV, chat with good friends and soothe your mood.
Milk stasis and even mastitis
Does anger still cause mastitis?
yes! And mastitis caused by anger is still very common.
Our nipples are hepatic and regulate milk production. If the mother is long-term emotional depression (weak qi and blood or tired during the month), liver qi is not smooth, or the liver is vigorous, it will cause the milk to stagnate and clump, and the heat will become hot for a long time.
So the problem comes again, angry that the milk has been reduced, and will there be mastitis? Yes, mastitis is not a patent of "mother cows" and can happen any time.
★ If the milk is stagnant, the first thing to excrete is to let the child eat more, or let a trusted prolactin help;
★ Open the knots of the heart and vent the emotions;
★ If there are symptoms of mastitis, anti-inflammatory needs to be done at the same time as milk is drained;
★ Do not delay, find the problem immediately solved, so as not to heat into pus for a long time, causing greater pain.
Special treatment is needed in special periods, and the tolerance and consideration of the family is the magic weapon for mothers to overcome bad emotions during the confinement period. At the same time, we must also learn to adjust our emotions:
Not angry about today
No regrets about yesterday
Don't worry about tomorrow
I believe that everything will be fine, the little fairies cheer up ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
