What to do if milk is pressed during breastfeeding

Pressing the breasts during lactation will lead to obstruction of milk secretion. We can squeeze out the milk for this symptom, which will then cause breast inflammation. We can unclog the blocked mammary ducts and massage the breasts more to promote milk secretion. When the breasts are blocked, we should use the correct method to clear the milk ducts and lower the body temperature. You cannot breastfeed the child during the treatment process.

1. Fever due to milk squeeze means inflammation in the mammary gland. At this time, the first thing to do is to dredge the blocked mammary ducts through effective methods to discharge the squeezed milk. Breast massage is also a very effective way to treat milk squeeze. Expectant mothers can use appropriate massage techniques themselves, or they can ask a professional masseur to help them massage. Generally speaking, use your hands to massage the breasts in a clockwise direction, and then squeeze along the nipple from the inside to the outside, you can squeeze out the milk that has become a paste. The lumps in the breasts will gradually soften as the milk is squeezed out, and the pain symptoms will also be relieved.

2. Expectant mothers who have a fever due to milk squeezing should take effective measures to help lower their body temperature while clearing the milk ducts. For example, if the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, physical methods can be used to cool it down, such as wiping the skin with a wet towel dipped in warm water, which can have a very good fever-reducing effect, but you should pay attention to wiping the armpits, palms, groin, inner knees and other parts. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, it means that the inflammation in the breast is more serious. It is best to treat it with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics at the same time. At this time, you cannot breastfeed the baby. If the mammary gland is already unblocked, it is best to squeeze out the milk and throw it away, and let the baby eat milk powder temporarily. Wait until the condition improves and stop taking the medicine for a period of time before continuing to breastfeed the baby.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that in order to better prevent milk jam, you must breastfeed your baby in a timely manner. Letting your baby suck more milk can effectively keep the mammary glands unobstructed. If the baby cannot finish the milk, use a breast pump to suck out the milk and empty it in time. In addition, expectant mothers should also pay attention to adjusting their mental state during breastfeeding and avoid too much mental stress in order to better ensure the quality of milk.
