How to nurse postpartum breast
1 Don't wear an inappropriate bra after delivery, or don't wear a bra at all. Choosing the right bra is a necessary measure to protect double breasts, and it must not be taken lightly. Wearing a bra can't be oppressive, that is, the bra can't be too small. It is appropriate to choose a model that can cover all the outer edges of the breast. The shoulder strap of the breast should not be too loose or too tight, and its material should be a somewhat elastic belt, which should be adjusted for a certain time every day. When you sleep at night, you should take off your bra and relax the muscles of your breasts, chest and back, which is beneficial to local blood circulation.
The cleaning of postpartum breasts is very important, and long-term uncleanness will bring trouble. Therefore, breasts must be cleaned frequently. Breastfeeding is a period of vigorous breast function. The most common breast diseases in this period are infection and inflammation, so we should pay attention to the cleanliness of the breast. Before each feeding, clean nipples and areola.
3 do some breast augmentation exercises properly, and gently massage can make the breasts plump. Doing breast enhancement exercise is one of the measures to implement breast enhancement exercise, which is very important for women with basically sound breast tissue. In fact, exercise itself does not make breasts bigger, because breasts have no muscles. The purpose of exercise is to make the lower pectoral muscle of the breast grow. Enlargement of the pectoral muscles will make the breasts protrude, which makes them look big.
4 postpartum due to breast-feeding breast produces a lot of milk. At this time, if squeezed by external force, it will cause tissue contusion and change the external shape. Being squeezed when milk is full can also cause mastitis. To avoid squeezing your breasts, you must first maintain a correct sleeping position. It is best for a new mother to lie on her back after delivery, and try not to lie on her side in one direction for a long time to prevent squeezing her breasts, resulting in uneven development of both breasts. First, keep your breasts clean.
Don't use soap or other emulsion to clean breasts, which will easily cause nipple skin to crack due to lack of sebum protection, and then cause infection. Therefore, in order to fully maintain the local hygiene of the breast, it is enough to choose clean water. Nipples should always be clean and smooth, and new mothers should remember to wash their hands before feeding each time to prevent infection. You can wipe the nipple with a clean warm and wet towel. It's best to prepare a small towel specially for wiping nipples. Don't mix with other towels. In addition, mothers should take a bath frequently, change their underwear frequently, and keep their breasts clean and hygienic.
Second, the feeding method should be correct.
Breast-feeding mothers should choose the correct feeding methods according to the specific situation, such as sitting, lying on their side, hugging and so on. Correct feeding posture is beneficial to prevent nipple disease. When breastfeeding, the mother should first lift the breast, tease the baby's lower lip with the nipple, and send the nipple into the baby's mouth when the baby's mouth is the biggest. The nipple and most areola are fortress together, which can effectively prevent the nipple from chapping. After breastfeeding, when the baby stops sucking, gently press the baby's lower lip with the index finger to make air enter the mouth and eliminate negative pressure; Then gently remove the nipple from the baby's mouth.
Avoid forcibly pulling out the nipple during the baby's sucking process, which will easily damage the nipple. Breastfeeding should be done alternately on both sides of the breast to avoid asymmetry on both sides of the breast.
Third, a reasonable and nutritious diet.
Postpartum mothers should pay attention to the balanced intake of nutrition and try not to be picky about food. The staple food is more than the third trimester, so we should eat more foods, vegetables and fruits rich in protein. Some mothers are dissatisfied with their bloated bodies and are eager to go on a diet to lose weight. The consequences may involve breast tissue, leading to breast atrophy. During breastfeeding, mothers should stay away from caffeinated foods such as soda, chocolate, ice cream and tea, which will aggravate breast swelling and make mothers feel uncomfortable.
Fourth, breast massage
You can massage your breasts before going to bed or after getting up every night. The specific method is to put the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of one hand together on the contralateral breast, and press and massage clockwise from the outer edge to the inner side of the breast with the nipple as the center, each time for 10~ 15 minutes.
Massage your breasts carefully, and don't rub them around to avoid damaging them. This method can promote local blood circulation and prevent breast sagging.
Fifth, choose the right underwear
Mothers should choose comfortable cotton underwear to avoid direct contact between irritating substances and the body. Bras should not be too loose or too tight. Choose a soft cotton bra to facilitate breastfeeding. Clean underwear should be changed every day to keep the breasts clean. Do not choose a chest pad with plastic edges or brackets. After weaning, the baby can wear a special bra for postpartum body shaping, which can effectively concentrate on raising the breast.
How to reduce your stomach quickly after delivery
Method 1. It is not difficult to control your weight during pregnancy and reduce your stomach after childbirth.
The expectant mother's stomach will become full and bigger with the increase of pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy. At the same time, the abdominal skin will accumulate a lot of fat while expanding rapidly, and once these fats are accumulated, it is very difficult to remove them. After giving birth to a baby, the stomach will also become loose and there will be orange peel tissue.
Therefore, mothers should pay attention to weight control during pregnancy. It is appropriate to gain weight within 12kg during the whole pregnancy, 1kg in the first trimester, 5kg in the second trimester and no more than 3kg per month in the third trimester.
Method two. Tie the abdomen, and wear the abdomen after delivery.
The binding band can provide a supporting force for the abdomen, so that the mother's abdomen is unlikely to deform again under certain pressure, which can support the contracted uterus and help the abdomen recover to its original state.
The corset can help mother distribute body fat evenly in all parts and reduce the production of orange peel tissue. The back frame of corset can also help support mother's back. When choosing a corset, you should pay attention to your skin and allergies, so as to avoid sweating or eczema caused by improper selection.
In addition, be careful not to lift heavy objects after delivery, otherwise it will increase the pressure on the abdomen and affect the recovery of the abdomen and the whole body shape.
Method three. Do some thin belly exercises properly.
If your body recovers well during confinement, you can do some actions to strengthen your stomach from the third week after delivery, first try the elasticity of your stomach, then lie flat on the bed, hold your head up for about 30 degrees, and hold for 1 to 3 seconds, and then slowly extend the time according to your body's endurance, staying for 10 second each time.
After confinement, my mother's body and physical strength have basically recovered. You can start doing sit-ups, or go to the gym to do some full-body aerobic exercise, and your stomach will flatten out. You can do some exercises to exercise your abdominal muscles on weekends, such as cycling, mountaineering and swimming. These exercises can decompose abdominal fat and prevent and relieve abdominal relaxation.
Method 4: Postpartum abdominal massage
From 30 to 40 days after delivery, mother can do abdominal massage to squeeze fat every day. First, apply some lotion or massage cream to her belly, and then squeeze the fat in her belly hard, whichever is a little painful, for 3 to 5 seconds each time, and keep doing it for more than 15 minutes every day.
Conditional mothers can also go to a professional massage shop outside for oil pressure, or find a professional certified beautician to do LPG massage, which can achieve the effect of thin abdomen.
Method 5: Ensure adequate sleep.
Adequate sleep helps to control the volume of fat cells, promote blood circulation, promote dermal fiber proliferation and increase skin elasticity. If the puerpera has insomnia symptoms, they can insist on doing aerobic exercise for 30 minutes to 1 hour every day, or take a walk three times a day, each time for 10 minute, which is beneficial to improve insomnia.
Method 6. Eat more fiber in postpartum diet.
In China, people traditionally think it is necessary to take supplements in the second trimester. In fact, this is also an unscientific view. Don't eat too much greasy tonic after delivery, but try to eat more foods rich in cellulose, such as rice and coarse grain bread. Eat more foods rich in gum, such as pig's trotters, tremella, beef tendon, fish skin and so on. , can make the skin more elastic.
In addition, eat less high-salt, high-sugar and fried foods and drink no less than two liters of water every day, which is convenient for timely elimination of toxins and wastes in the body. Drinking more green tea will help to eliminate the residues in the body and help the recovery of the stomach. Be careful not to eat and drink less water before going to bed at night.
