How to prevent mastitis?

At the end of the first pregnancy, you need to wipe the nipple with 75% alcohol or wash the nipple with warm water, which can enhance the skin flexibility and resistance of the breast, and squeeze out the fat plug in the main tube. If the patients with inverted nipple need to squeeze out the nipple by hand before pregnancy, they should also massage and pull to correct the nipple, so as to prevent the occurrence of mastitis caused by inverted nipple after delivery.

In postpartum feeding children, we must ensure the correct posture, can't let the baby only contain the nipple, the baby didn't contain the areola together in the mouth, finally cause the nipple chapped, lead to bacteria along the broken nipple into the breast tube, cause mastitis.

In lactation, be sure to let the baby eat empty side of the breast, and then eat the other side, can not eat on both sides alternately, to prevent the baby from eating milk for a long time, resulting in the formation of mastitis. If the mother's milk is sufficient, the baby can eat one side full, the other side is still very swollen, you need to squeeze out all the milk in the swollen side of the breast, can't stay in the breast, easy to form acute mastitis.

matters needing attention

It is recommended to breastfeed regularly every 2-3 hours. Two breasts alternate feeding, the best equal opportunity, in order to prevent breast asymmetry after lactation. Empty the breast, do not accumulate milk. When one side of the breast can be fed to the baby, the other side of the breast should be sucked empty with a suction device, do not be stingy, because the milk is "the more you eat, the more you have". Of course, when the milk is insufficient, it can also be stored in the refrigerator.
