In everyone's view, breastfeeding is really beautiful, no need to flush milk powder, no need to wash bottles, no need to want to brew how many milliliters of milk every day, how high the temperature is needed, and do not have to worry about the bottle is not clean, when going out to bring a lot of things. As long as the baby is hungry, he can drink safe and nutritious breast milk at any time and anywhere, clean and clean!
However, some breastfeeding mothers have encountered some "difficulties" because they have chosen to breastfeed, such as the terrible pain of opening milk, the anxiety of insufficient breast milk, too much milk that adds trouble, etc., and the blockage of milk that hurts from time to time.
What is milk plugging?
Plugging the milk, the key is in this blocking word.
Usually, the mother's milk road is smooth, and the milk can pass smoothly through the milk. The head comes out and the baby can drink milk.
However, due to some reason, the milk circuit is blocked, that is, the breast canal is not smooth, the milk cannot flow out, it can only be hoarded in place, but the baby's stimulation will make the milk continue to secrete, and the chest will rise more severely.
Blocking milk really scares mothers, not only does it raise milk when blocking milk, it also hurts, it hurts when the baby is feeding, and it hurts even more when it doesn't eat.
When the milk is stasis for a long time, part of the milk will turn into small white particles stuck in the milk. On the head, we can also see some small white dots at the milk, after extrusion, we can obviously see the broken rice grains that look like white, and when these small particles are removed, some mothers can immediately relieve the pain.
Plugging the milk, it is also principled, it likes these kinds of mothers.
★ The first, moms who like to eat greasy food
Some mothers especially love to eat very greasy food, especially after childbirth, because it is easier to be hungry to give the baby milk, and greasy food can give such mothers a sufficient sense of food security, only by eating this food will not feel so hungry.
And they don't like to eat vegetables, and they feel that even their stomachs are fat.
However, the most obvious change in this way of eating is that people are prone to gain weight, and because they often eat this way, the milk will become thick, and the saturated fat content in breast milk will become easy to block the milk.
Neighbors give birth to babies when eating is really scary, two days can eat three chickens, if there is no chicken, then there must be a big pig's trotters every day, anyway, all kinds of eggs and meat are available at any time, eat five meals a day, the weight of the mother and baby is visible to the naked eye long, milk, but also three days of two ends of the blockage, pain.
★ The second type is a mother with too much milk
Many people are troubled by insufficient milk, but too much milk is actually very annoying, not in the milking, or on the way to milking, sometimes want to be lazy, do not want to milk.
However, because there is too much milk, it cannot be cleaned up in time, or it is easy to accumulate in the chest without timely breastfeeding, which is also easy to cause milk blockage.
★ The third type is a mother with a small diameter in the breast duct
Regardless of the size of the chest, it is "small and complete", but although the number of breast ducts is similar to everyone, it is generally 15 to 18.
However, the size of the inner diameter of the breast duct is not the same, just like a water pipe, the thick water output is more, it is not easy to block, and the small water output is small and easy to block.
When the inner diameter of the breast duct is small, it is relatively more likely to be blocked than the breast duct for some other reasons.
★ The fourth, the mother who is not particular about underwear
In fact, the choice of underwear is not good, and sometimes it will cause milk blockage, especially if the underwear is very tight, because this will affect the blood circulation in the chest and will also lead to unobstructed breast ducts.
Don't block who you block?
Therefore, during the lactation period, it is best for mothers to choose special nursing underwear, which can better protect the chest and facilitate breastfeeding.
★ Fifth, the mother who mistakenly treats the baby's granary as a sandbag
After three or four months, the baby's feeding is not so serious, the athletic ability is also very strong, the baby likes to punch and kick the mother's body when feeding or after feeding.
However, some mothers feel that there is more "meat" in the chest and "fight" the baby, so they always use the baby's granary as a sandbag to let the baby practice various kung fu and show their skills.
But in fact, the breast catheter is very fragile, it is easy to break due to external impact, if the baby's small hands and feet are pounded hard or the mother usually accidentally hits the chest, it may lead to breast duct damage, causing milk blockage.
These five kinds of mothers will generally be easier to block milk than other mothers, of course, this is not absolute, but these five kinds of mothers need to pay more attention to try to avoid blocking milk.
What should I do if I block the milk?
If there is a milk blockage, the only way is to dredge the milk road, so that the milk road can be smooth, and the methods of dredging are:
★ Let your baby feed more
Baby is the best prolactinator, if the milk blockage occurs, the best way is to let the baby eat more milk, if the baby has added complementary food, do not give the baby to eat complementary food during the milk blockage, when the baby is hungry, he will try to eat milk, which is the best way to dredge.
PS: Do not try to let others replace the baby, although breastfeeding is a very laborious thing, the baby may not have so much strength to unclog the breast catheter at one time, but if others do it for them, because they will not use clever force like the baby, the effect is actually not obvious.
In addition, lazy moms recommend:
During the milk blockage, you can apply a warm compress to the chest before feeding, which can make the breast duct expand, the local blood circulation is accelerated, and it is easier for the baby to suck out the accumulated milk.
If you see milk. There are small white spots on the head, you should first apply a hot compress for about 15 minutes, and then gently wipe it with a hot towel, and then feed the baby, or squeeze it out with massage techniques, once not twice.
To avoid infection, it is not recommended to use a needle to break it out yourself.
Remember, remember, hot compresses must be before feeding, if you do not plan to breastfeed do not apply hot compresses, you can use cold compresses to relieve pain.
★ Proper massage
When the breast duct is blocked, the mother can properly massage the chest, and the massage must be gentle, so as to avoid damage to the breast duct.
When there is a hard block in the local area, you can use the fingers or palms to knead the hard block from the inside to the outside if it is just milk. The room has a feeling of swelling and can be used with C-shaped hands from the milk. The root of the chamber is at the R head and gently pushed away according to the direction of the mammary duct.
★ Find a professional to help
If you can't solve it yourself, you can go to a doctor to prescribe some drugs to unclog the breast tube, or go directly to a professional prolactin to help, be sure to find a professional, and learn the correct way of feeding by the way.
How to prevent milk jams?
Blocking every day, dredging every day, and blocking every day is not the way, usually we still have to do a good job of prevention to avoid blocking milk.
★ Eat a light diet and refuse greasy foods. If mothers feel hungry, they can add meals, and they should also eat some vegetables to scrape grease, drink more water appropriately, and avoid too much fat in milk.
★ Timely feeding, timely emptying of milk. When the baby is hungry, the baby should be fed, if the baby can't eat so much, the excess milk should be squeezed out in time to empty the milk in time.
Moms who are adjusting the balance between milk supply and demand can squeeze only a portion of it to make themselves feel less swollen.
★ Protect your baby's granary. Usually, pay attention to protecting the chest and avoiding the impact of the baby or other external forces, so as not to damage the breast catheter.
★ Choose the right underwear. It is recommended to choose special nursing underwear, and adjust the tightness, be sure not to let yourself feel loose.
In fact, the above said so much, the best way is to let the baby eat more milk, as long as the baby eats more milk can ensure the smooth flow of the milk road, the other is only auxiliary.
