Breast sensitivity linear rise, a stimulation on the hard, a word does not agree with the swelling pain? Sometimes when you take a bath, you will find some pale yellow “little pearls” on your nipples, and sometimes wet and sticky on your underwear?
Don’t worry, the chest becomes bigger, the nipple is sensitive, the areola turns black, these are the result of the hormone change during pregnancy.

▎ colostrum is precious, breast care during pregnancy
You may often hear that colostrum is very precious and precious, more precious than gold. Do you wonder what the power of these yellow secretions, which seem to be low-key and inconspicuous?
The wonderful thing about colostrum is that it is the most suitable ration for your baby. Especially when the baby is just born, your colostrum can adapt to the digestion and absorption of the newborn baby, meet his nutritional needs, promote the development of the baby’s intestinal tract, improve the baby’s immunity, and reduce the occurrence of jaundice – in short, it can not only make him eat full, but also make his immune timely online, so that the baby less Sick, is absolutely you give the baby the most abundant “big meal”.
Colostrum contains a large number of antibodies and proteins, which can protect newborns from the invasion of bacteria and reduce diseases. Among them, there is a guy called “lactoferrin”, which is the main defense protein in colostrum. The content of total colostrum protein is as high as 20%, more than 300mg / L! It can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, care for the baby’s small belly, but also conducive to respiratory health, help baby to establish their own defense system.
Of course, lactoferrin is not alone. When milk is secreted, numerous nutrient rich small balls (milk fat balls) will also be secreted, which brings MFGM milk fat ball membrane and DHA as a strong and powerful combination of good partners for the baby’s resistance. MFGM milk fat ball membrane is a layer of membrane on the surface of the milk ball, which plays an important role in nerve development, helps to protect the brain from high-speed operation, and also helps to improve the baby’s resistance; and we are very familiar with the brain gold DHA is wrapped in the milk ball.
The baby’s body is like the establishment of a high combat effectiveness guard team (lactoferrin, MFGM milk fat ball membrane, DHA), to help the baby prevent infection and enhance immunity, so that the baby can grow up healthily, less sick, and adapt to the new world as soon as possible.
Since colostrum is so precious, should we squeeze it out during pregnancy? How to scientifically deal with those small changes in the breast?
Although some colostrum will be secreted during pregnancy, it will not produce a lot of milk at this time, so it will not squeeze out much, because a lot of milk secretion depends on the baby’s lactation hormone surge to achieve. The colostrum secreted during pregnancy is usually light yellow, the amount can be more or less, pay attention to clean it, if the colostrum forms scab on the nipple, you can use ointment to daub, and then gently wipe with warm water after softening. It is not recommended to touch the nipple frequently during pregnancy, because it may cause unnecessary uterine contraction and bring risks to the fetus and baby!
In addition, in order to increase the size of the breast, you need to choose a new bra, choose the appropriate cup of pregnant women’s bra. Breast pain, you can be under the guidance of the doctor through massage or hot compress to relieve, remember to be gentle Oh!
Warm reminder
Half an hour after delivery is the golden period for opening milk. The baby is born within 30 minutes, is your golden period of opening milk, must remember to carry on the skin “intimate contact” with the baby, let the baby suck your nipple early. Contact, it is best to let the baby naked body close to your chest, let him hear your heartbeat, smell your smell, with this “skin blind date”, open your breast milk era!
