Personally, I prefer the first method. If the baby does not reject the bra, the baby can eat breast milk through the bra. On the one hand, it can stimulate the breast to produce more milk, on the other hand, it can improve nipple invagination through the baby's long-term sucking.
What should I do if nipple invagination occurs? If you find your nipple invagination, it is best to intervene in the third trimester. If the method is proper, it can completely improve the situation of nipple invagination and let the baby eat breast milk through the nipple.
When I gave birth to Bauer, my aunt who nursed me said that her daughter-in-law had inverted nipples. In the third trimester, she helped her daughter-in-law do nipple traction training every day, and the situation of postpartum nipple invagination was greatly improved, so she could breastfeed naturally.
Why do you need training in the third trimester? This is because in the first trimester, the gestational sac is not yet stable, and frequent stimulation of the nipple is easy to cause uterine excitement, which is not good for the fetus. However, due to the effects of various hormones during pregnancy, all aspects of the body will undergo corresponding changes, and breasts will also undergo secondary development during pregnancy. Therefore, taking this opportunity to carry out proper traction training can improve the situation of nipple invagination.
A breast doctor is your best friend!
I am Luo Chengyu, director of the Breast Center of Fuxing Hospital of Capital Medical University. I am serious about being a doctor, doing popular science with my heart, and making friends sincerely. I want to be your best male friend!
Female nipple depression is not a rare phenomenon, so what is nipple depression? How to treat invagination? Let's meet today!
First, what is nipple inversion? A normal nipple is convex, but if the nipple cannot protrude, it is called nipple depression, also called nipple invagination.
Nipple invagination is light and heavy, generally divided into three degrees. I degree depression, nipple partial depression, nipple neck, gently squeezed by hand, the invaginated part will be exposed, and the nipple size is not much different from the normal nipple; Nipples with second degree depression are all depressed in areola, but they can still be squeezed out. The third-degree concave nipple is completely buried under the areola, and the nipple cannot be exposed after extrusion.
Second, what is the cause of nipple invagination? Nipple invagination is mostly congenital malformation, which often occurs on both sides, and a small part occurs on one side. The main reason is that the smooth muscle of nipple and areola is underdeveloped, the mammary duct with extremely short muscle fiber bundle is pulled inward, and the tissues around the underdeveloped duct can not support the nipple.
Acquired patients are mostly secondary to postoperative trauma, inflammation, tumor, scar contracture and so on. For example, repeated mastitis can lead to nipple inversion.
In addition, excessive nipple pressure caused by improper underwear in adolescence can also lead to nipple invagination.
Third, the influence of nipple invagination 1, which affects breastfeeding, and it is difficult for the baby to suck milk, which affects the normal baby to drink milk.
2. It is easy to cause mastitis.
3, nipple invagination can accumulate dirt or grease, which is easy to cause nipple areola inflammation and mastitis.
4. The formation of women's inferiority complex affects the beauty of breasts.
Fourth, the treatment of nipple invagination can be treated conservatively, but if it is moderate or severe, it can be corrected surgically. For first degree invagination, conservative treatment such as negative pressure suction, manual traction, instrument traction and steel wire continuous traction can achieve good results.
For nipple invagination during lactation, it can be corrected by traction under the operation of a professional doctor, but it is recommended to carry out targeted continuous treatment after lactation.
Nipple depression is a congenital disease, which is caused by congenital dysplasia of nipple smooth muscle and fibrous contracture of some breast tissues. Among them, breast duct shortening and tissue fibrosis contracture are the main reasons for nipple invagination.
According to the degree of invagination, nipple depression is divided into three degrees: degree ⅰ is partial invagination of nipple, which can be completely protruded by squeezing nipple with hand; The second degree is that the nipple is completely trapped in the areola, but it can basically be squeezed out by hand; The third degree is that the nipple is completely buried under the areola, and squeezing can't make the invaginated nipple protrude.
For those with mild or moderate nipple invagination, Ma Bao can squeeze the breast by hand to help the child suck the nipple, and can basically breastfeed, but it is more difficult to breastfeed. If the nipple is sunken seriously, the baby can't eat milk. You can suck the milk out with a breast pump and feed it with a bottle.
Women with sunken nipples should be treated before pregnancy. For patients with mild to moderate degree, squeeze out the nipple by hand every day and pull it for 3~5 minutes. For severe nipple depression, pre-pregnancy surgery should be performed.
Nipple invagination is serious, milk quantity is small, milk is started late, milk is blocked, and milk chasing is successful.
Let us sigh at the beginning: women are weak, but mothers are just! God knows what I've been through! ! !
My nipple invagination is serious, super serious. The nurse said I had never seen anything worse than me. It's flat anyway. I can't breathe it in at all. Even my husband tried to smoke, but he couldn't. If you think you are serious, I tell you not to give up. You can really finish the kiss-feeding successfully. Of course, the premise of success is not only your hard work, the understanding and support of your family, but also a cooperative baby. If the baby doesn't cooperate, the difficulty will increase several times!
I spent the whole pregnancy with my sister-in-law at my parents' house. Because my sister-in-law was pregnant, I was five days earlier than her due date, and as a result, she gave birth on my due date of 2065 438+08. 2. 2! And I was born on February 9! Our baby has changed from a brother to a younger brother, hahaha.
My husband and I always knew that my nipples were invaginated, because I used to see many middle-aged women's nipples protruding in the bathhouse. I felt so ugly at that time. I guess people think I'm so ugly that I naturally stand out after giving birth to a baby and feeding it.
Oh, my God! The reality is that it is difficult to feed without highlighting. I began to realize that it would affect feeding. The due date is coming, and my sister-in-law and I go to the bathhouse to take a bath. Oh, my God, I found her nipples protruding before she gave birth. Only then did I realize that I was wrong! When I got home, I told my mother about my worries, and then my mother said nothing. The hospital has breast pumps. What a careless mother. No wonder I haven't found nipple inversion for more than 20 years. I'm really drunk
I cut my body in the right direction (I'll talk about this topic next time), so I was full of tubes after giving birth, and naturally I finished the milk powder my son drank that night. The next day, the child's aunt took out the breast pump I asked for. Then I put it on my chest, and I didn't feel involved at all, just shaking, like facial cleanser. Naturally, there is no milk, no children, and no use for that thing. I thought it was caused by my nipple invagination, and I never doubted the product at all. Actually, the breast pump is broken, which really makes it harder for me to kiss and feed.
On the third night, I began to raise milk and planned to let the children suck. The child doesn't understand at all. This is a plane. How to suck? The baby will only lick it twice on the chest. At this time, a charlatan happened to come and said that he was a prolactin, Nima, not as professional as I am now. As long as 300 yuan, my luxury is not a problem at all. Just let her try. Alas, I regret that my cognition has been delayed, otherwise I will definitely find a professional prolactin.
After pressing it for a while, she said, take a nipple of a bottle and put it on my chest for the baby to suck. This is really, how to suck it out now? Drunk, for such a big thing, how much effort does the baby have to spend? After working for an hour, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the baby cried badly. He had just given birth to a baby and had no feelings for the baby, only caring about himself. Now I look at the sleeping baby around me and feel that I really shouldn't let him cry for so long, and his breasts swelled all night.
On the fourth day, I thought about this all day, constantly searching for information on the internet, and my mother-in-law was also asking relatives and friends about the example of nipple inversion. I asked the nurse for a so-called breast extractor, which is actually a needle. I cut off the head of the injection in front, and just left two more needles at home. This has made a great contribution to my successful implementation of pro-feeding. Those things in the picture I sent are indispensable on the road to success. Let me introduce them one by one. When the doctor came to make rounds, we talked about nipple inversion. The doctor said easily that a nipple protector is enough. I am very happy to let my husband buy a nipple protector and a nipple corrector. But maybe I didn't run in well that day, or I didn't feed it.
On the fifth day, we were discharged. On the day of discharge, my husband and I went to the maternal and infant store and bought a manual breast pump and nipple. Fortunately, I wisely bought a manual breast pump. Otherwise, I really doubt whether my milk will swell up completely! At the same time, I also drank "honey young mother's milk tea" and went home to suck out 30ml of colostrum directly. Although it is not much, it can be regarded as milking! I only smoke once every three hours, and it's almost 30 every time. A baby with little milk can barely do it, but our big stomach king doesn't gargle enough. Because I suck hard, "honey baby mother drinks milk tea" diligently, and the milk volume has been increasing, from 30 to 70 a month. With the increase of milk quantity, I found that I sucked a lot of milk when I tried to pull out my nipple with a needle, so in order not to waste it, I simply sucked milk with a needle and pulled out my nipple at the same time.
When the needle can't be sucked out, suck it again with a breast pump. Suck and pull at the same time. Great! After 20 days of birth, the nipples come out a little. I tried to kiss the baby, but I still couldn't. It's too short. The husband can barely pack, but the baby really can't. Then I remembered the nipple shield. It happened that the baby was very hungry, so he put on the shield and sucked it up at once. At that time, I was so happy that I drank through the protective cover. I thought I had to wear a protective cover to feed. Reality slapped me! That night, my baby and I slept all night, and I also drank milk all night! Because of the small amount of milk, he kept hanging and feeding, and I was exhausted.
But the mammary glands opened early the next morning. Thanks to the credit of "young mothers with honey drink milk tea", the milk rose, and I sucked out 90ml of milk at once, which was obviously easier than before. But the nightmare began! I continued to kiss and feed, but my nipples hurt more and more. Three days later, as soon as he inhaled me, he cried loudly. It's too painful. His nipples are chapped. My husband was in tears. He said he wanted to drink milk powder. At that time, my mother-in-law was told not to be afraid, and then I fed it and got used to it, but I'm sure it was no ordinary pain, not a joke. Then this month I cried my eyes out. Check online quickly. Fortunately, one person said that he could not continue feeding, and he would get bacterial mastitis. It is not good for the baby to let the pus be sucked out. In the meantime, I squeezed the milk by hand drop by drop, so I can't use a breast pump.
I quickly bought nipple cream and put it on early the next morning. At one time, I wanted to give up pro-feeding and bottle breast milk, but many mothers still achieved pro-feeding because of nipple invagination, and I think the lack of milk must be because there is no right to suck. After all, the breast pump can only suck the milk in front, and the baby can suck the milk in the back. Only when the baby is allowed to suck can the breasts be really dredged. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers with inverted nipples should not think about bottle feeding unless you are a big cow and the amount of milk is completely enough.
Three days later, the nipple healed. Then I began to wear protective cover to feed, but it still hurt. At this time, I am a little suspicious that the protective sleeve hurts badly, because every time the baby sucks it out, my nipples are completely deformed. Fortunately, my delivery is coming to an end. At this time, I will contact my mother and tell her to go back to her mother's house after confinement and let the baby eat some of my sister's milk.
The first thing to do when I go home is to let my baby eat my aunt's milk, while my sister-in-law has been drinking "honey milk tea", which is really different. After getting used to it for two minutes, the baby will start to make a squeak. Our baby is really adaptable. I don't care about breast milk powder and bottle feeding, as long as I have something to drink, which also plays a decisive role in my complete pro-feeding. With the help of my sister-in-law, my pro-feeding road is smoother, and my baby begins to know how to suck nipples! If you don't have the conditions to find someone to familiarize your baby with nipples, you can try to touch a little milk powder on your husband's nipples, because this will let your baby know that short and flat nipples can also drink milk!
I'm still carefully feeding it a protective cover. I will apply thick nipple cream immediately after feeding, which is very useful and has the effect of reducing swelling immediately. When the baby was 35 days old, I fed it with a protective cover, but only the right breast (after pulling out a little nipple, I found that the left nipple was a little deformed, unlike the general nipple, it was bigger, so it was not easy to suck it anyway. The right side is closer to normal people. Anyway, inverted nipples are different from normal nipples. At this time, he didn't suck well and let go of his mouth. I took off the protective cover and looked at his long nipple, and I was inspired at once. I can definitely suck it so long!
I put my nipple in his mouth and finished my first kiss. Then I fed my left side in the same way. I'm really happy this time, I did it! Hurry and announce it to the world! In the evening, I quickly took out the nipple orthosis. In the second month, I felt useless, and the traction effect was not obvious. But let him help me pull a little before feeding and send it to the baby's mouth immediately, which will definitely work for me. Sure enough, this thing still played a role. Although the baby cried several times before, it started drinking almost three days ago.
Give you a suggestion: "Young mothers with honey juice must drink milk tea", let the baby drink the side that is easy to suck first, because sucking the nipple on the other side will be a surprise. I just suck the right side first and then the left side every time, and now it's no problem. And that nipple, I want to buy a short flat nipple, so that the baby can learn to suck the short nipple. I bought it wrong, so I can't use it. Try to choose a bottle that imitates the nipple, so that the baby can still accept the nipple after getting used to it. At this time, I found that although my nipple invaginated, it would hurt a little more than the average person, but it really wouldn't hurt like that. I'm in pain because of the nipple protector! However, the nipple protection cover has played a great role in the road of pro-feeding, and the merits and demerits are offset!
Summary:
1, be sure to take your time and pull out some nipples before kissing, unless your nipples are short and flat. It is absolutely impossible to expect complete invagination and complete parental feeding.
2, it is good to rely on braces after coming out a little, but the premise is that you must pull out a little, otherwise the baby really can't bite the nipple for two or three seconds.
3. If it is not convenient to feed by caesarean section, it is better to use a manual breast pump to open milk, which has great suction. After all, there was no milk at first.
4, don't blindly pursue expensive, bought a bad one later, and haven't thought about the reason.
5, buy a milk collector, for the mother with less milk, it is a little more, it is a pity to drop it.
As for the problem of less milk, I didn't take it seriously after kissing, and I always felt that it could be solved. Let's popularize it here. Many mothers don't have enough milk for the next month. Don't worry. This is because the baby is born big, so the starting point of milk needed is high, just like our family came up with 1 10ml, and no one gave him this milk after giving birth. When the mother's milk rises behind, the baby's milk rises slowly, which is naturally enough.
For mothers who really lack milk, drink plenty of water, and the water must be between 50 and 60 degrees, so as to be warm. In addition, there is motivation to pump and suck milk vigorously. I'm not exaggerating. I just suck on the bilateral breast pumps for about 8 minutes every time after the baby finishes drinking, so that the body thinks that the baby is still drinking milk and empties more at the same time.
If you make up your mind that you are really short of milk, you can take an hour at night, suck 10 minutes and rest 10 minutes. This lasts for an hour, and it is better to have a large amount of milk at night. Of course, if you put it in the daytime, you can do it.
In addition, you should have the determination to win, hahaha, because you will be in a good mood and naturally have more milk.
Finally, there is the ultimate secret, the milk tea introduced by menstruation (an old Chinese doctor)-"Young mothers with honey drink milk tea".
It contains Semen Vaccariae, medulla Tetrapanacis, Fructus Lycii, Radix Astragali, Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Fructus Jujubae. Add 1 liter of water and drink it three times a day.
Remember: I must drink the lochia completely clean. I drank a little at first, but then lochia was delayed for several days. Don't be impatient. I've done all this, and in about five or six days, the milk will be enough for the baby. Nipple invagination, less milk, and chasing milk are all solved. Come on! You will find that the energy after giving birth is really beyond your imagination!
I wonder to what extent Ma Bao's nipple invaginates. Generally, nipple invagination will not particularly affect breastfeeding, but the premise is to ensure that the baby's breast-holding posture is correct, not only to hold the nipple, but to hold most of the areola together.
If the nipple is short or flat, do more stretching. Hold the breast with one hand and the nipple with the other thumb, forefinger and middle finger. You can also use nipple braces to help.
If it is particularly serious invagination, you can use a bra.
If the baby doesn't want to suck milk for a while, then squeeze the milk out first and feed it with a spoon, but don't give up letting the baby hold the milk correctly. One day he will understand.
Some precious mothers will encounter such embarrassing things after giving birth to bow wow. Obviously, it's not that they don't secrete milk, but because of the nipple problem, which causes bow wow people to "look at milk and sigh". In fact, there are many ways to correct Ma Bao's nipple invagination, which can not only save bow wow the pain of not breastfeeding, but also save him a lot of heart. So, once nipple invagination is found, how to solve it?
First, apply hot compress with a hot towel.
In fact, the reason why the nipple invaginates is mostly related to the volume change of the breast. If there is enough milk, bow wow often feeds it, and the nipple rarely invaginates. Only when the milk is insufficient or the nipple blood circulation is not very smooth will it sink in. So when you are not sure what caused the invagination at first, you can press the nipple with a hot towel, which can ensure the smooth blood circulation of the nipple, and then make the nipple protrude naturally by physical means.
Second, use a breast pump to help the nipple bulge.
If bow wow is not strong enough, the milk is not easy to be squeezed out. At this time, the nurse can suck the milk out of the nipple with the help of the breast pump to meet the needs of bow wow and help the nipple bulge. It should be noted, however, that although this method is effective, Ma Bao should pay proper attention when using it, and don't use too much force, which is not good for the nipple and may even cause the risk of chapping.
Third, massage the nipple by hand to make it protrude.
Because postpartum nipple often invaginates or protrudes because of the secretion of milk, sometimes, if bow wow does not suck milk very frequently, and there is also the risk of rising milk or staying milk, then the treasure mothers should pay attention to it, and they can massage their breasts properly by artificial means, which can also promote the discharge of milk and help the invaginated nipple to protrude. But it's best to bring your own massage, and don't let others bring it, so it's convenient for you to grasp the strength.
Can I say this is my situation? Drinking milk for children almost got depression.
Before that, I didn't know there was a nipple depression. Because the child was seriously ill for seven days shortly after birth, he didn't drink milk at all when he came back.
At first, I milked by hand every day and asked my husband to feed it to the doctor, which was only forty or fifty milliliters. As a result, the child came back, and I thought I shouldn't milk. As a result, I didn't expect the child to drink at all, and he cried very badly.
I remember one time in the second month, my child and I had a quarrel about drinking milk all day. Never had breast milk or given milk powder. As a result, the child was so hungry that I had a fever in the middle of the night and hung up the emergency room. But for the sake of the children who dare not hang water and take medicine, they can only endure it, but the mother who gave birth to the child should know that the pain is like a needle stuck in the chest.
But I didn't give up. The doctor told me that the child didn't want to smoke because the nipple was sunken. In addition, it is normal for children to resist and let me breastfeed often.
Just listen to the doctor. When I go back to continue feeding, the child still won't drink, but the milk is blocked and the breast pump can't play a role. I had to learn online videos over and over again, and I was forced to learn milking. But it's not that easy. I remember once, I milked all night with my hands, and I was in pain and cried all night. I secretly decided to wean the child and never feed it again.
I continued to register with the doctor, but I couldn't help crying in the doctor's office, and the doctor was scared. Keep comforting me and let me try again. It's no use. She prescribed me weaning medicine. Later, at the doctor's suggestion, I ate vegetarian food for a week and drank it for two weeks. Finally, the milk is not blocked and can be squeezed out normally.
Friendly advice: one month before delivery, don't eat too greasy. One week after delivery, drink less crucian carp soup and bone soup, which is high in fat and easy to block milk.
As a result, the children still don't drink, but I don't want to give up. I milk the baby by hand every day. I can squeeze 400 ml a day when there are many. Some people may ask, why not use a breast pump? I can say that my breast pump is not working at present. It hurts when I squeeze it, and my nipples are broken. I gave up. Let's use my hands.
As a result, I was squeezed for half a year, and my arm hurt so much that I couldn't sleep every night. It is difficult to eat and serve in the back. In this case, I also hoarded frozen milk for my children for more than two months and drank it for eight months before I was completely weaned.
So nipple depression is really a very painful thing. Adults suffer, so do children. If the children are good, the problem is not very big. When I meet my temper, I can only have no solution. In the face of this situation, you treasure moms can only watch the move!
What is her inexperience?
First of all, I have to sympathize with you when I see this problem, because you and I have the same problem. I didn't think this problem existed before the baby was born. Six hours after caesarean section, I began to feed my baby. At that time, the nurse told me that the nipples were too short, and I didn't feel anything, but it was really a problem for the baby to cry if he couldn't eat. If the baby can't eat, it makes you helpless, that is, the baby is sucking the nipple. I think it's as good as contractions. At that time, my nipples were broken and both of them were bleeding. At the worst time, I began to sweat as soon as I heard the baby cry, because every time I feed it, I really stick to it with willpower, otherwise I would say that maternal love is greater.
There is no good way but to let the baby eat more. You are ready for pain and persistence.
I'm Ma Bao. When the baby is born, one nipple is big and the other nipple is small, and one of them is still concave. I tried many methods to no avail, but I kept asking my baby to suck. Every time I sucked milk from the concave side, it was the other side. Although it hurts every time, it will be fine after a week or two.
