What are breast care during lactation?

Preparation work.

First, prepare towels and hot water.

Hot compress method

After the towel is soaked in hot boiled water, it should not hurt the skin. The hotter the weather, the better. Cover all the breasts with a hot towel centered on the lump. Be sure to cover all the lumps and nipples together. When holding a hot towel, gently press it first to soften the lump in the breast.

Massage.

Massage after taking off the towel, and press and rub the lump with the fingertips of middle finger, index finger and ring finger. At this time, the lump may still be hard, but it doesn't matter. Go ahead.

Repeat hot compress and massage.

Soak the towel in hot water, continue hot compress and massage at the same time, that is, repeat the above three steps until you feel a little softening around the lump.

Apply olive oil or vegetable oil to the breast and comb it with your fingers along the lump towards the nipple. You can also comb with a comb, but the comb can't feel the change of the lump as clearly as the hand. It is recommended to comb by hand to better grasp the strength. Don't be afraid of pain in the combing stage, because this part is the key to get through the breast.

Repeat hot compress, massage and combing.

After dredging for a few minutes, wipe the olive oil on the breast with toilet paper, then cover it repeatedly with a hot towel with massage. Hot compress, massage and combing last for half an hour.

Babies suck milk.

Wash the nipple after the last hot compress and let the baby suck. When the baby sucks milk, hold down the lump with your hand and rub it hard. After the baby sucks for a period of time, the impassable breasts will gradually clear.
