Too little or too much milk? How to milk is stressful! Be wary of breast pump use 3 misunderstandings

The breast pump is an indispensable weapon for breastfeeding. For the attitude of the breast pump, I always tell the mothers during breastfeeding that the breast pump can be used, but it can be used as much as possible. Because once you get into the misunderstanding of using a breast pump, it becomes a weapon that hurts your breasts, so learn more!

Misunderstanding 1: If the breast pump doesn't suck, it's out of milk

Many mothers have discovered from the beginning of their child's first mouthful of milk that their daughter is still weak and has a weak sucking power. They always cry anxiously because they can't suck milk. At this time, many mothers distressed their children, knowing that their sucking helps milk production, but they still couldn't help themselves with breast pumps. As a result, more than ten days passed, and the breast pump could only suck up about 20 ml of milk at a time; as a last resort, she had to add milk powder to her child. Some mothers even cause mammary gland failure, breast milk accumulation, and mastitis.

In fact, the mother's breasts are like a warehouse, and the milk is transported to the mammary sinus through the mammary ducts, and then squeezed or sucked out. When using a breast pump, only the milk in the milky sinus is sucked out. Often this way, the ducts of the breast are not smooth, and a milk lump gradually forms.

Baby sucking is the best way to stimulate milk secretion and increase milk volume. Newborn babies have weak sucking power. Mothers should not worry. Do not use breast pumps when breast ducts are blocked. Because the breast pump is under the effect of pressure, it will only compress the unobstructed mammary ducts, causing local edema. Over time, there are only two cases. Either it is gradually no milk, or there are more and more milk blocks, and the breasts are getting larger and larger, but the milk cannot come out, and the nipples are broken and infected, causing mastitis.

Misunderstanding 2: It doesn't matter if you don't feed your child night milk

Many mothers encounter such a situation, it is not good to sleep before becoming a mother, after the confinement, the mother-in-law asked to take the child at night. Many mothers agreed that their bodies were too much to deal with. At that time, there was a lot of breast milk. Before going to bed every night, I sucked it with a breast pump and put it in a bottle to let my mother-in-law feed the baby in the middle of the night. I think this is breastfeeding, and it ’s not much different from the baby's direct sucking. During the day, the baby sucks by itself, which has played a role in stimulating the nipple and promoting breast milk secretion. But after a while, it was found that breast milk was getting less and less, and even almost no milk. This is mainly due to not breastfeeding in person at night and missing the period with the highest levels of prolactin.

Prolactin, also called prolactin, is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Women's prolactin secretion is strong during late pregnancy and lactation, which can promote breast development and lactation. The secretion of prolactin varies greatly throughout the day. Generally, the amount of prolactin secretion is maintained at a high level during sleep. At 3 and 4 in the morning, the serum prolactin secretion concentration is about double that of noon.

Although I slept all night, I didn't stimulate the breast to excrete milk during the prolactin-active period. For a long time, the body received a signal that "no breast milk is needed" and breast milk gradually decreased. Therefore, in the first few months of a baby's life, it is important to eat "night milk" for both the baby and the mother to ensure normal milk production.

Misunderstanding 3: Use a breast pump to suck up too much milk

A young mother had a lot of breast milk, her baby couldn't finish eating, and her breasts were always sore. A doctor friend told her that after the baby is full, the breast should be emptied with a breast pump, otherwise it will cause siltation and block the breast ducts. This mother used the breast pump frequently according to this method. After six months, she was going back to work, and her milk was not uncommon. Every so often, she went to the locker room to squeeze out the milk. A few days ago, because she received an important foreign client, she didn't suck in time. When she was busy, she felt that her breasts were swollen and painful. If she sucked again, she couldn't suck out, so she had to go to the hospital. These mothers, who are rich in breast milk, have entered a vicious cycle, and their milk is secreted much more. They are worried about stasis and use breast pumps continuously; however, this sucking process actually stimulates the breasts and the milk secretion will be more.

The correct method is: when the breasts are enlarged, it is enough to discharge some milk. It is best to squeeze by hand. Every Baoma learns manual milking is essential because using a breast pump will only reduce the front Part of the milk is excreted, and improper use can easily cause breast edema and cause mastitis.

Many mothers are overly dependent on breast pumps. In fact, this tool should not be used if it is not necessary. When is it possible to use a breast pump?

First of all, the premise of using a breast pump is that the breast tube must be unobstructed! !! Secondly, do not use excessive force when using to avoid causing breast damage! !! In the end, we still recommend that you: keep your baby sucking breasts frequently and learn to hand-milk. The best way to keep breast milk secretion is to suck your baby and use the correct position (including the chest against the chest, the abdomen against the abdomen, and the jaw against the breast, covering the areola 1/3 position).
