Breast engorgement is a common breastfeeding problem. It involves development of hard, swollen & painful breast due to too much milk.Dear Moms, Share tips to deal with the breast engorgement problem.
Breast engorgement
Have ur food at warm temp. Avoid hot meals and drinks.
who knows better than me..I am a mom of two...and have hyperlactation .. during the first year of feeding I change my bra and t-shirt almost 4 to 5 times a day irrespective of using breast pads (cloth ones, reusable (mee Mee) and use and throw (luvlap))..
breast engorgement is something which has become routine for me...
now how I tackle it -
** I use ice packs first..then take a bath with lukewarm water...this helps the glands to loosen the milk ( you can see the milk flowing automatically 😜)....
** i would suggest to gentle massage ur breast (make sure not too hard) using coconut oil avoiding the nipples at least twice this also helps alot...
** also try feeding ur baby frequently...it might be painful if it is engorged but that is how it is...
**I have used breast pump too but realized that the milk is more produced if u use it ..so I have given up on this machine🙈
also one problem I face is a white spot on my nipples..which is basically a nipple blockage or milk blister...so it\'s like very painful when u are feeding the baby but it will only go when u bear that pain..in one or two feeds it will go away...
so pretty ladies take care and happy feeding🙂
