Massage techniques for swollen breasts and lumps

During breastfeeding, in order for the baby to fully supplement nutrition through breast milk, mothers will pay attention to all aspects, but sometimes unexpected things may happen, such as milk blockage. Not only will the baby be unable to suck milk, but their own breasts will also feel uncomfortable. At this time, you can adjust it through some methods. What is the massage method if there is milk blockage and lumps? This is the question that everyone wants to grasp.

How to massage when milk is blocked and there is a lump

When problems such as breast lumps and milk blockage occur, mothers can wash their breasts with hot water, massage their breasts with gentle techniques, and slowly shake their breasts up and down. These can promote the discharge of milk and are very helpful for breast patency.

In this case, you can use your thumb, put the other four fingers together, open your palm, and wrap the breasts from both sides of the chest and push them towards the center.

In addition, you can close your ring finger and the center, or you can use only the ring finger, and drag with the tip of your finger from the edge of the breast toward the nipple. Be careful not to cut the skin with your fingernails, and be gentle.

What to do if your breast milk swells after weaning

Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding: The best way to reduce milk engorgement is to gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding, from shallow to deep, and the food intake will naturally decrease slowly, achieving the effect of weaning. After weaning suddenly, milk swelling will undoubtedly be very serious.

Rely on a manual breast pump: When your milk is swollen very badly, use a manual breast pump to suck out some of the milk, which will relieve the pain of swollen milk. And you don’t have to worry about not being able to stop breastfeeding after using a manual breast pump. Since a breast pump does not suck milk completely, milk secretion will gradually decrease.

We believe that exclusive breastfeeding is the safest and healthiest way to feed babies, so after they are born, this method is usually used to supplement nutrition for babies and allow them to grow up happily. However, you should pay more attention to it in your daily life, and if milk blockage occurs, you should also learn the appropriate solution.
