Blocking milk means that for some reason, the mammary duct is blocked, and the milk stays in the breast and cannot flow out normally and smoothly, resulting in the formation of a lump in the breast. When the milk is blocked, the breast will swell somewhere or the whole breast will have a lump. This kind of pain is very uncomfortable. Let's just say it hurts to walk fast. Breast plays an important role in lactation, and the baby's ration depends on it, so breast is the key protection object during lactation.
The common cause of milk blockage is 1. The mammary duct was destroyed by external force. The mammary duct is actually very small and fragile, and it will be damaged if you are not careful. If the mammary duct is damaged, the milk will not come out and stay in the breast, leading to milk blockage. There are many external factors, for example,
① The wrong massage technique leads to breast duct injury. Underwear is too tight, leading to poor circulation of mammary duct. The baby was so naughty that he kicked his left foot and his right foot right above his granary. Mom accidentally bumped into a table or something, and the impact position happened to be the chest. ⑤ Ma Bao likes to sleep on her stomach, which makes her breasts blocked by abnormal pressure. 2. Unhealthy eating habits lead to milk blockage. Eat and eat all the time after giving birth. In order to produce more milk, I keep drinking soup every day, and all the big fish and meat are swallowed. In fact, this is unnecessary.
Some mothers always drink some greasy soup and food after giving birth. The oil is very high and it is difficult for the body to absorb and transform. 2 Some mothers are always worried about the lack of milk and try their best to eat some milk-delivering food. The baby can't eat milk in time, which leads to milk blockage. 3. The milk was not emptied in time.
I can't feed the baby at any time without the baby, and I can't express the milk in time. 2 The posture of feeding is incorrect, which makes the baby unable to suck milk in time. There is too much milk for the baby to eat, and too much milk accumulates in the breast, which leads to milk blockage. 4 Bad feeding habits, Ma Bao always likes to feed only one breast, and few people care about the other breast, which not only easily leads to milk blockage, but also easily leads to large breasts on both sides and small breasts on the other side.
What if the milk is blocked? Although there are so many reasons for blocking milk, as long as the mammary duct is open, there is no problem. In fact, everyone's breast has 15-20 mammary ducts, but the inner diameters of mammary ducts are different, so some Ma Bao mammary ducts with smaller inner diameters are particularly easy to block milk, so Ma Bao should pay more attention to keeping the mammary ducts unobstructed.
Let the baby smoke more. The best way to solve the milk blockage is to let the baby suck more. As long as the baby sucks frequently, it can keep the milk path unobstructed to the maximum extent. Every time you feed, you can let the baby suck the side that blocks the milk first until it is sucked through the milk passage. Because at the beginning, when the baby is hungry, he will suck harder and harder, but after eating one side of milk, the baby may not be so hungry. If you let him suck hard, the baby may not want to, so the order is more important. Make corresponding adjustments in diet. If Ma Bao's diet is too greasy and high in fat, she should adjust now and stop drinking too greasy soup and high-fat food. Try to eat light food. Some soups can be skimmed, or the same is true for vegetable soups. Even drinking more water can increase the amount of milk, and you don't have to drink very thick broth. Massage your breasts properly. Ma Bao massages her breasts when she is free. The thumb and the other four fingers are separated into a C shape and placed at the root of the breast. Then start from the root of the breast, and she gently squeezes toward the nipple, and must start from the root of the breast. Hot/cold compress the breast. When blocking milk, many mothers don't know whether to apply hot compress or cold compress. Hot compress can dilate arterioles after local heating, accelerate blood circulation and soften breasts. However, hot compress has the function of promoting lactation, so it is necessary to discharge milk as soon as possible after hot compress. If the breast has hardened, it is not suitable for hot compress, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Cold compress can reduce the temperature of the lump in the breast, relieve the pain and eliminate the edema in the breast, thus controlling the occurrence of inflammation. Therefore, after feeding, you can give a cold compress to your breast for about 20 minutes at a time. If cold compress, you can put wet towels or cabbage leaves and potato chips in the refrigerator for half an hour, and then cold compress your breasts every two or three hours. Seek help from professionals. If the breast has hardened, Ma Bao must go to the hospital for professional help, if she can't handle it herself. Don't just find some prolactinists without professional qualifications, so as not to lose money if you can't handle the problem. The biggest worry is that she will damage the mammary duct. Lazy mother still has something to say about hot compress. A few days after she gave birth to Bauer, her milk rose sharply. Both breasts are particularly painful and swollen. At that time, her breasts were so hard that she couldn't milk at all. So the method of hot compress was adopted at that time. Massage the breast for a few minutes after hot compress, and then squeeze out the milk to massage. After it can't be squeezed out, the baby can suck or use a breast pump. In short, it is to squeeze the milk out. After that, I tried several times to block the milk. When I have a small lump on my breast, I always use hot compress. Of course, I feed my baby immediately after each application, which can solve the problem of milk blockage.
In fact, some small white particles blocked the mammary duct. Whether the baby sucks or prolactin helps, this small particle will eventually be squeezed out. If Ma Bao can see this small particle on the nipple, she can squeeze it out by herself, but it will hurt when squeezing. Of course, it will hurt more if she doesn't squeeze.
