Remember that the mammary gland should be well emptied. In detail about emptying it is possible to talk to the doctor. But to avoid this problem associated with swelling of the chest, try to drink less fluids and even more so at night. Gaps in feeding should not exceed more than 3 hours. Before feeding, you can make yourself a small massage in the direction from the gland to the areola, seconds 20-30 pace the nipple. These procedures will help you overcome this problem number one.
At different stages of feeding, lactostasis can develop - this is when the milk in the woman's breast is at the stage of stagnation. This is due to the fact that moms during feeding often tightly squeeze their breasts or wear too tight clothes. In this case, we recommend that you, as well as above, take less fluids and apply the baby more often to the breast. But if the child can not cope with sucking milk from one breast, attach it to the second.
It is also useful to know that if you have cracks and inflamed nipples, and this is also accompanied by stagnation in the breasts, then beware of infection in the gland tissue. And I strongly recommend that you turn to specialists. The feeding stops completely only if there is an impurity in the milk or if there are cracks (bleeding) in the nipples.
A mastitis is accompanied by such signs, part of the chest becomes red, swollen and hot. Redness increases pain, and body temperature increases significantly. Complicated mastitis leads to an abscess. Here are some contraindications to breastfeeding with such a disease, stop breastfeeding the baby if pus is present in the milk.
One of the most difficult problems is hypogalactia, it covers not only the social aspect, but also the medical-biological one. This is a very common pathology in the range of nursing mothers. This disease means a decreased ability of the mammary gland. The earliest is the formation of it up to 10 days from the moment of birth, and the latter from 11 days. The symptoms are that children have swallowed air when the child swallows air 10% more than milk. Most of this disease affects women after cesarean section. Treatment with this disease is very highly effective homeopaths, besides it is also safe.
Dear mothers, remember one more rule - while the child has not yet learned how to properly grasp the chest, he should not even see either the nipples or the pacifiers. That's why we can determine if enough milk is given to the child:
1. Poorly adds weight, less than 500 g per month;
2. The baby emits urine less than 6 times a day, and it is yellow with a pungent odor;
3. Often crying;
4. The child has a dry, dense green stool;
5. There is no milk when decanting.
I want to support you, my dear, nursing mothers, always keep your dear, beloved child in your heart, show your concern, be attentive to it. If you notice something and you have some signs of not health, immediately contact the specialists and note, I'm not talking to the doctors now, because not all doctors are specialists, contact those to whom you can entrust your health and your child's health.
