To put it bluntly, postpartum milk blocking is a harbinger of mastitis.

If you can't deal with postpartum milk blockage in time,

Then it is likely to lead to mastitis.

Affect mom's health.

So if there is milk blockage, how to dredge the milk? Let's introduce the treatment of postpartum milk blockage for everyone!

1 massage sucking method

The milk is blocked because the milk is blocked in the breast and has not been dredged. At this time, if the blockage of the breast is unblocked, the symptoms of breast blockage will naturally be alleviated. Mothers can first put their fingers into the place where milk is blocked, gently massage their hands along the direction of milk production, and extract the milk. In addition, the mother can use the breast pump to suck out the blocked milk. When the milk blockage is dredged, the symptoms of mother's milk blockage will also be alleviated.

2 hot compress massage chest

Hot compress is the most common way to relieve the symptoms of milk blockage. Under normal circumstances, the method of hot compress can melt the lump blocking the milk and make it unobstructed. When there are symptoms of milk blockage, mother can try to compress her breasts with a hot towel. First, mothers should prepare hot towels and apply them to their breasts. If the mother is strong, she can take turns to apply ice and hot compress. Of course, mothers remember to prepare towels and clean up the dredged milk after application to avoid infection.

3 let the baby suck more.

Speaking of the symptoms of milk blockage, the baby can be said to be a good helper for the mother to breastfeed. On the one hand, in the face of the milk in the mouth, the baby will be more anxious to suck hard, which will play a role in dredging the milk for the mother. On the other hand, it is healthier for the baby to help breast-feed than for the expectant mother to use needles, and there are no side effects. If the expectant mother has punctured the milk lump with a needle, then don't let the baby suck it again to avoid infecting the baby.

4 a healthy lifestyle

I believe many people don't know that the symptoms of mothers blocking milk are also related to their bad lifestyle. If the mother often stays up late or is in a state of mental stress for a long time, the secretion in the body will naturally be affected, which is more likely to cause symptoms of milk blockage. Therefore, for the sake of the baby's health, mothers remember to adjust their pace of life and maintain a good mental state to meet life.

Mothers should pay close attention to their breasts and nipples. After the nipple is chapped, we should pay attention to keeping it clean, otherwise bacterial invasion will easily infect mastitis; Once the breasts agglomerate, deal with them as soon as possible, and it will not be good for three or four days. Pay attention to whether the lump is red and swollen and whether it has a fever. If so, go to the hospital for anti-inflammatory treatment.

Many new mothers may have postpartum milk blockage. If you don't pay attention to dredging, you will increase the risk of mastitis. Slight milk blockage, as long as the baby sucks, it will be fine.

If it is serious, you need to see a doctor!
