  • create a calm breast - an elevated position and comfortable, not compressing bra;
  • express milk before each feeding, it is better with two hands, a little massaging nipples; such a procedure is good to do a little warm (but not hot - this will increase lactation) shower;
  • in severe stagnation of milk can do this: a large mug filled halfway with warm water, bend and paste it breasts, so that it does not touch the water; Formed in this vacuum will facilitate suctioning milk; but this is an emergency measure if the stagnation and the pain is very strong, and you can not use it constantly - the procedure can stimulate lactation;
  • for reducing lactation can be applied to the breast cold;
  • try to minimize the lactation in the mammary gland with lactostasis by continuously reducing its discharge; for it is necessary to give the child suck the breasts are not fully, resulting in lactation will decline.

When mastitis is recommended:

  • if background lactostasis a fever, you should seek medical advice immediately;
  • the initial stage of mastitis (before the formation of an abscess) are treated conservatively: appointed antibiotics and physiotherapy; You can feed the baby;
  • after the formation of an abscess treatment of mastitis only operative: the abscess is opened, the pus is removed and put drainage, through which the wound removed the pus; you can not feed your baby.
