Breast After Pregnancy
Post Pregnancy Breast
Although apparently there is no change in the breasts yet due to the collection of milk in them they become rather heavy.
One interesting arrangement made by nature is that the milk in the breast will continue to ooze till the child is fed by it. If the mother stops to feed her milk to the child the formation of milk, will also stop. To take care of the heaviness of the breasts, the lady must wear an appropriate sized brassieres.
Immediately after feeding the breast may become soft only to become heavy with milk after a few hours. In this condition to prevent the nipples from bursting they ought to be washed with clean water.
In case the mother stops to feed her child even after a couple of weeks of the delivery, the breasts may become hard and heavy and after two or three weeks the milk drying up. If the pain due to this hardness and heaviness of the breasts becomes unbearable, then the lady should consult her doctor’ because the milk-heavy breasts get infected very soon. It is, therefore, advisable to consult the doctor if the burning sensation or redness be felt on any part of the breasts.
