What is the reason for so much milk?

Symptoms: The whole breast is like a hard stone. Can't touch, can't touch. The child will be relieved just after feeding, but before long, the secreted milk will turn the breast into stone. Breast flatulence is caused by the accumulation of blood, body fluids and milk in the breast, which is caused by improper and infrequent breastfeeding. Usually effective nursing can relieve symptoms within 24~48 hours.

Solution: When the breast is full, apply hot and wet compress to the breast for 3-5 minutes before breastfeeding, then gently massage, pat and shake the breast to dredge the breast. But squeeze the milk by hand or breast pump, soften the areola, and let the baby hold the sucking nipple and most areola smoothly. Empty the milk every time you feed, so that the breasts are unobstructed. After the milk is emptied, it can not only avoid milk deposition, but also reduce breast pain. After breastfeeding, you should wear a support bra to improve local blood circulation.

The second reason is the wrong sleeping position, which is caused by pressing the breasts.

Symptoms: only a small piece is hard, and the rest are soft. Only that lump will hurt.

Solution: breastfeed more times to make the baby better.

Third, improper use of breast pump can also lead to milk accumulation.

This phenomenon is very common among new mothers, especially three or four weeks after delivery.

The correct breastfeeding method should be that the baby eats one side empty and then the other side. However, some new mothers think that eating a drop of milk from the breast is empty. Once it is found that the breast is still secreting milk and the baby is full, the breast pump will be used to discharge the milk. Lead to accelerated milk secretion, lead to breast swelling, and it hurts when touched. If you can't stand it, continue to use the breast pump frequently, with uneven and moderate force. This cycle, too much milk discharge, can easily lead to milk accumulation under the nipple, forming a hard knot, and it is not easy for the baby to suck out milk.

If the breast pump is used too hard, it will also press the breast pump to the tissue around the breast to absorb swelling, resulting in nipple invagination, and the baby can't hold the nipple at all and can't suck milk. Moreover, there is no care for swollen breasts during sleep, and it is easy to squeeze and form induration.

In fact, as long as the breast becomes soft and does not swell, it is empty. The milk secretion of the new mother is supplied according to the needs of the baby's body, not too much. Moreover, the breast will automatically discharge milk and will not swell to the point where the mother can't bear it. At this time, there is no need to use a breast pump, or try to let the baby breastfeed himself.
