Nowadays, many mothers choose to breastfeed their babies without hesitation after giving birth. However, many new mothers always encounter some problems in the process of breastfeeding, such as how to hold the baby comfortably while feeding, or situations such as breastfeeding nipple pain. Many times, new mothers don’t know what to do. Let’s learn about what to do if breastfeeding nipples hurt. Some mothers experience severe nipple pain when breastfeeding, so they are very reluctant to breastfeed. What exactly causes nipple pain during breastfeeding? Is there any way to alleviate it? Some postpartum mothers feel pain in their nipples while breastfeeding, so they rarely breastfeed, or in severe cases, they dare not breastfeed at all. Hearing the baby crying but not being able to feed the baby makes postpartum mothers who have such problems feel anxious. What is the reason? It may be that the nipples are chapped, so actively treat it and strengthen nipple care. If this happens, new mothers should not worry too much, because this situation is very common after childbirth. New mothers must see a doctor promptly for appropriate treatment to avoid being unable to breastfeed. Therefore, the key to avoiding chapped nipples lies in prevention. Starting from the second trimester of pregnancy, the nipples should be scrubbed regularly every day to stimulate the skin on the surface of the nipples, making them tough and firm, and not easily damaged during breastfeeding. If the nipples become cracked after delivery, apply hot compress before each feeding, then squeeze out a little milk to soften the areola, so that the baby's mouth can better hold the nipple and areola, and avoid biting the nipple. After each feeding, press the baby's lower jaw with your index finger, and when the baby opens his mouth, take the nipple out of his mouth. You can squeeze out some milk and apply it on the nipples and areola to prevent nipples from drying out and promote the repair of damaged skin. When your nipples are very painful, you can use a breast pump to suck out the milk, boil it and feed it to your baby. Wait until the cracks are completely healed before continuing to breastfeed. Never give up breastfeeding easily. It is said that giving birth is a painful thing, but nipple pain due to breastfeeding is more painful than giving birth. This feeling is something that ordinary people cannot understand. In order to prevent nipple pain due to breastfeeding, mothers should pay more attention during breastfeeding. If it is caused by nipple obstruction, you can find a regular breast massager for massage, which can effectively relieve such symptoms. |
