Breast dressing to stop the production of breast milk in her is a procedure that can negatively affect a woman's health. Therefore, most doctors oppose such a method of stopping breastfeeding .
But sometimes a woman just has to resort to a tug of the breast. The reason for this can be the child's refusal from breastfeeding, an urgent operation of the mother, or the lack of the woman's ability to breast-feed.
How correctly to tie up a breast?
To reduce the amount of breastmilk produced as an improvised means for constricting the mammary glands, use an elastic bandage, a baby diaper or a sheet.
Before you perform this procedure, you need to slightly reduce lactation by using less fluid and a more rare application of the baby to the chest.
Just before you bandage the breast from milk production, it is necessary to express each breast without residue. The bandage should be soaked with camphor oil and put on the chest area, completely covering it. The tissue should cover the area from the armpits to the end of the ribs. The knot should be tied on the back. It is better if the woman does not make herself a bandage herself, but with the help of another person.
To avoid further problems with the mammary glands (cysts, tumors), stop lactation should be gradually. Milk should be expressed after six hours and again to apply a bandage. A child to breast-feed during this period should not more than twice a day.
Typically, the course of procedures for breast-tightening takes about seven days, sometimes it can stretch for ten to fourteen days, depending on the woman's eating habits, the individual characteristics of her body, the rate of metabolic processes and other factors.
