How to lengthen short nipples of pregnant women

We all know that two or three days after giving birth is a period of milk production for the mother. During these two or three days, the mother should eat more foods that are easy to produce milk, which will lead to the rapid loss of milk. However, some pregnant women have problems with their nipples, which causes the milk to not come out for a long time, and the baby cannot suck through its mouth. So, how can mothers with short nipples lengthen it? Here are a few ways to

If the milk comes but is not flowing smoothly, it can easily cause mastitis. In severe cases, not only will you not be able to breastfeed, but you will also have to take medicine and undergo surgery. This is very bad, so you must first clear the milk ducts and then eat some milk-producing foods. This will be very good.

This situation is also very common when the child is just a few days old. It is very likely that the mammary glands are blocked. The key now is that the mother should not be anxious and let the baby suck more. Now you can massage the breasts. If you are in the hospital, you can ask the nurse for help. If you do it at home, you can do it yourself. The mother puts the thumb above the nipple and areola, the index finger below the nipple and areola, and supports the breast with the other fingers. Use your thumb and index finger to squeeze toward the chest wall. When squeezing, your fingers must be fixed and not slide on the skin. The milk may not come out after the first few squeezes, but it will come out after repeating a few times. The key part is the areola, because below the areola is the milk sinus, and the milk is all inside it. Once the milk flows smoothly, it will be much easier for the baby to suck. Is the baby's sucking posture correct? The baby cannot just suck the nipple, he must suck most of the areola. The baby's sucking is very important. The mother must first believe that she has the ability to feed her baby. Only with this confidence can she insist on breastfeeding. Secondly, relax yourself, get enough rest and have a happy mind, which can promote the secretion of prolactin. Third, have more contact with your baby. The child’s skin, movements, expressions and smell are all promoters of prolactin secretion.

You can put an appropriate amount of tongcao in the cooked soup. It is very cheap and available in most pharmacies. This will also help with milk production.

You can also do it before breastfeeding.

Apply moist heat to the breasts for 3 to 5 minutes, and massage the breasts at the same time to stimulate the milk ejection reflex, squeeze out some milk to soften the nipples, and then twist the nipples to induce the erect nipple reflex.

Pay attention to feeding method

When a baby is hungry, he will first suck on the flat or obviously sunken nipple. At this time, the baby's sucking power is strong and it is easy to suck out the nipple and most of the areola. After breastfeeding, you can continue to wear a nipple shield between two breastfeedings. In addition, pay attention to the correct breastfeeding posture when feeding.

Nipple stretching exercise: Place your two thumbs parallel to both sides of the nipple, slowly pull them apart from the nipple to both sides, pulling the areola skin and subcutaneous tissue to make the nipple protrude outward, then place your two thumbs on the upper and lower sides of the nipple respectively, and pull them apart vertically from the nipple to the top and bottom. Repeat the above steps several times, with each exercise lasting 5 minutes, to make the nipple protrude. Then pinch the nipple with your index finger and thumb and gently pull it outward several times.

Syringe aspiration of the nipple

(1) Preparation of syringe aspirator: Prepare two pairs of 10 ml syringes. Remove the piston of one of the two syringes and connect the nipples of the two syringes with a rubber tube with an inner diameter of about 0.4 cm and a length of about 5 cm. Sterilize it and set it aside for later use.

(2) Usage: Place the end without piston on the inverted nipple and draw air from the piston at the other end, sucking about 5 to 10 ml of air until the nipple protrudes and maintain negative pressure for more than 5 minutes (the longer it is maintained, the less likely the nipple will retract). When finished, first separate the rubber tube, then remove the syringe covering the nipple. Do not push the piston back to avoid nipple retraction. If the baby fails to suck successfully, it can be used repeatedly.
