What should I do if my chest is dry and drooping after feeding?

After breast-feeding, chest dryness and sagging can be improved by the following methods:

1, nutritional support

High-protein and colloid-rich foods contribute to the growth of chest muscles and promote the fullness of chest tissues. It is recommended to eat more lean meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables, nuts, milk and eggs.

Step 2 wear a breast-feeding bra

Choosing a bra with good support can play a good supporting role and prevent breast sagging.

3, breast massage

Slightly sagging breasts can be improved by local massage, such as gently rubbing, vibrating, kneading or pressing the breasts from the inside out, from the basic parts of the breasts to the nipples. The first best postpartum recovery provides professional postpartum chest recovery programs to help postpartum mothers solve postpartum sagging and other troubles.

4. Chest expansion exercise

For example, chest enlargement, arm lifting, push-ups, push-ups, swimming (especially breaststroke), rowing and other sports can exercise pectoralis major and pectoralis minor, and give the breast as good support as possible from the inner layer, so that the breast becomes delicate.

Causes of breast deformation after lactation

1. Incorrect bra selection during pregnancy and lactation.

Mothers should wear a bra of the right size to support their breasts, not only during lactation, but also every day in the third trimester, and pay attention to wearing it all the time.

This is done to prevent the skin and internal supporting tissues from expanding and stretching after the breast becomes heavier. In the seventh month of pregnancy, the expectant mother should change into a bigger bra, preferably nursing bra.

2. Changes of hormone levels during pregnancy and postpartum.

After pregnancy, hormones, fat and breast tissue in women's breasts will increase, thus making the breasts significantly larger. However, after delivery, the amount of hormones in the body decreases, and the fat and breast tissue decrease rapidly. The stretched breast skin surface naturally relaxes.

3. Mother's feeding posture is incorrect.

Incorrect feeding posture is also an important cause of breast deformation.

4. The child's mouth posture is incorrect.

Every time you feed, first touch the nipple to the baby's lips to induce rooting reflex. When the baby yawns with his mouth wide open, his tongue is down, and the nipple and most of the areola are quickly put into the baby's mouth, so that the baby can suck the whole nipple and most of the areola effectively.

5. The times of breastfeeding are not equal.

When feeding a child, the two nipples should be fed in turn so that the breasts on both sides can be the same size.
