When the baby is still in the mother’s tummy, the mother-to-be must have longed for the picture of a beautiful mother nursing her lovely baby in a magazine. Who knows that after the baby is born, the first 2 days the milk is very little; after 2-3 days, when you wake up, you suddenly feel that your breasts are unbearably swollen and painful, and your baby is not interested in the swollen breasts, and after sucking a few times, you may feel that they are too hard and start to cry. In fact, this sudden and dramatic increase in breast size is physiological and is caused by the action of postpartum lactogen and oxytocin, resulting in breast edema and rapid lactation. It is a sign of a sudden increase in lactation. At this time, the baby’s stomach is only the size of a ping-pong ball and does not need much milk at a time. Mothers are tormented by breast swelling and pain, and people often complain to me, “This breast pain is more unbearable than giving birth!” . Don’t be anxious at this point, your baby’s food intake is increasing every day and his ability to eat breast milk is getting more and more mature. Your baby is the best savior for your breasts, don’t believe in the “so-called experienced people”. Your breasts will soon be cured by your baby, and gradually the supply and demand between you two will be balanced. Of course, if the breast pain is unbearable and your baby is a long sleeper, you can drain the breast by hand or use a breast pump to suck the breast. If your breasts are still swollen and painful after breastfeeding, you can apply cold compresses to the painful area to relieve the swelling and pain. If that does not work, you can come to the breastfeeding clinic for help.
