"Ouch, Ouch, Ouch"

"Can't touch, can't touch"

"I really can't suck out the milk, can you help me drain the milk again?"

This is a mom who has just entered the school and has said to me the most today.

After completing the formalities in the morning, as soon as I entered the confinement club, I immediately asked the arrangement to see her, saying that her breasts were too uncomfortable and I wanted to help her dredge it.

This mother gave birth 3 days after giving birth, and had a first-time birth.

I don't have much production experience, and when I saw her for the first time, she asked me aggrievedly, "Why does it hurt so much, I still have to hurt for a long time?" ”

This mother happened to be in the menstrual period to increase milk, because the breasts were larger, but the overall breasts were not very obvious, but there was a lump the size of an egg under the armpit.

I can't touch it, and it hurts when I touch it.

After a painless delivery, she told me that the anesthesia was just right, and the pain during the delivery gradually became smaller, and she felt that giving birth was just like that. But I don't want to! Let this menstrual period increase milk and make me exhausted.

I told her that after about 3 days of normal delivery, her breasts would suddenly swell badly, and there would be egg-sized lumps under her armpits, which was a normal phenomenon, so she should not worry.

Whether it is a lump in the chest or under the armpit, it will dissipate, and there will be no problem after a few days.

Lumps in the armpits are often "accessory breasts" or "Spencsian tails".

Secondary milk:

We don't just have one pair of breasts, it's just that most of us are left with only the pair on the chest developing. And those who have more than one pair of breasts, most of them hide their breasts in the armpits that are not completely degenerate, and we call those breasts accessory breasts.

Because of pregnancy and childbirth, hormones in a woman's body change, so auxiliary breasts and breasts are also developing. After giving birth, they all produce milk, and they both swell up.

However, the ducts of the accessory milk and the breast are not connected, so after the menstrual period of milk engorgement, you can only wait for the milk of the accessory milk to be slowly absorbed by the body.

Span Tail:

It is the part of the breast tissue that extends to the armpit, which itself is connected to the breast and is connected together. When milk is removed from the breast, the lump under the armpit becomes smaller.

Although it is also a lump under the armpit, there will be different measures to deal with it for different reasons.

Because the mother couldn't pump with the breast pump that day, and with the breast pump, it hurt even more; The baby can't suck it out (in the hospital, after adding water milk in advance, so the feeding is not so smooth). After communicating with my mother, I gave her a manual milk discharge to relieve her current pain.

At the same time, let the mother be sure to suck and feed frequently according to the baby's needs, not less than 8 feeding times, day and night! Breastfeed each time before considering whether to add watery milk. Try to catch up with breast milk production first.

Although this mother is uncomfortable with milk inflation during her menstrual period, she still wants to breastfeed her baby as much as possible, which is quite admirable.

Breastfeeding for new mothers needs to learn skills, operate more, practice more, and feed can be better achieved.
