Looking at Xiaoyan, whose chest is severely deformed and drooping, my heart thumped. Although the expression management was done quickly, she found the surprised expression that flashed by.

"Can't bear to look straight? It's really drooping too much! "

"I used to be so proud and now I feel inferior. If I had known, I wouldn't have breastfed myself. You see, breastfeeding ruined my health after giving birth. Now I can't find a sense of existence in my chest and doubt life. The whole person is not good! "

Looking at Xiaoyan's lonely affection, I couldn't bear to say anything more at that time.

But in fact, breastfeeding is not the real cause of postpartum chest prolapse.

Ma Bao should not give up breastfeeding for fear of breast deformation.

First, the real murderer of postpartum breast ptosis is that the real culprit that actually causes breast ptosis is not breastfeeding, but pregnancy!

After pregnancy, hormones will make your breasts bigger and prepare for breastfeeding, which will not change whether you plan to breastfeed. The breast grows rapidly, so the burden of suspensory ligament, which is the supporting tissue for fixing the breast, is getting heavier and heavier.

Subsequently, under the action of gravity, the suspensory ligament and skin of the breast will be stretched, and the elasticity will naturally decrease after long-term stretching. Just like a rubber band, it will loosen or even break if it is stretched excessively all the time.

After the postpartum hormone level drops, the volume of gland tissue in the breast will be greatly reduced, and the volume of the breast will be reduced. But at this time, the suspensory ligament and skin have been stretched and relaxed, and the elasticity is not as good as before, so it is almost impossible to shrink back to the original size.

In other words, the poor supporting tissue lost its ability to stretch freely as early as during your pregnancy. It's just that after feeding, the enlarged chest during pregnancy slowly shrinks back, and you find that the chest is deformed.

Second, to prevent postpartum chest prolapse, expectant mothers should do this. Although it is said that whether breastfeeding or not after childbirth, the chest is inevitably drooping, but expectant mothers want to maintain the chest shape to the maximum extent and avoid aggravation, they can also do this:

(1) Do a good job in weight management during pregnancy.

Shut up and pick up your legs. Obesity can lead to skin and muscle relaxation, and moderate exercise helps to keep skin firm and elastic.

(B) Choose the right underwear

Some mothers don't want to wear bras from the beginning of pregnancy, some mothers don't wear underwear at home for convenience after delivery, some mothers don't pay attention to it, or wear previous underwear or inferior underwear, which is really bad for a long time.

You know, breasts will definitely be pulled by gravity during lactation. Appropriate underwear can not only support the already heavy breasts, but also be a very important protection to avoid local breast damage. If you don't even wear underwear with external support, it is easy to cause sagging breasts.

(3) Correct breastfeeding posture

Feeding posture is very important. When breastfeeding, the wrong breastfeeding posture will affect breast emptying, and the consequences will naturally be one big and one small; In addition, the posture is uncomfortable, the baby sucks, and the connection is not good, which will also pull the breast and cause the breast to sag.

In addition, we should cultivate good breastfeeding habits. Feeding on demand and balance between supply and demand, and bilateral alternating feeding also contribute to the balance of milk quantity on both sides. If you want to wean, you should also remember to do it step by step, which can not only make your baby's stomach have an adaptation process, but also help your mother's breasts recover slowly and prevent sagging breasts or blocked mammary ducts.

(d) Postpartum is not suitable for rapid weight loss.

Rapid weight loss or malnutrition after delivery will lead to rapid atrophy of mammary glands and rapid consumption of adipose tissue, thus causing breast atrophy, collapse or sagging.

In a word, the change of hormone level during pregnancy makes pregnant mothers' breasts full, and the breasts droop after delivery because of hormone withdrawal, which has nothing to do with breastfeeding. On the contrary, frequent breastfeeding and more breastfeeding can prevent excessive accumulation of milk in the breast, reduce the risk of mastitis and further protect the normal supporting structure of the breast.
