Patient's question:
Many milk knots, kneaded for over a month, but they haven't opened and there are no signs of inflammation. I need to wean in April because I have to go back to work. Are there any experienced moms who understand this?Doctor's answer:
Dear, this needs to be gently massaged open. If the milk knot persists, it can lead to inflammation, and it may also cause a fever. You can use a warm towel to apply heat, which can easily help the hard lump disappear. In the first few days of weaning, if you feel engorged, you should also express some milk to prevent mastitis. If the hard lump is not treated for a long time, it may lead to mastitis, so it's important to address it as soon as possible.
