What to do if a nipple is sucked and blisters appear

Pregnant mothers have a very difficult time during breastfeeding, because they need to take care of the newborn all the time, and they may also have to deal with some discomfort symptoms of their own. For example, pregnant mothers who start breastfeeding may have transparent blisters on their nipples due to the sucking of the baby. So, what should pregnant mothers do when this happens? Let me introduce you to some relevant knowledge below.

1. Pregnant mothers whose breasts are sucked out of transparent blisters by the baby do not need to stop breastfeeding. Although it will be painful when the baby drinks milk again, they can still continue to breastfeed. However, they should also pay attention to changing the improper breastfeeding method when breastfeeding. For example, when the baby is sucking, he should not only hold the nipple, but help him hold the entire nipple, so that the baby can suck more easily, the irritation of the blisters on the nipple will immediately decrease, and the mother's pain level will also be relieved. Secondly, you should also pay attention to keeping the breasts clean and hygienic, especially when some babies drink milk again, the bubbles on the breasts will be sucked and broken. If the blisters are broken, you need to use iodine tincture to disinfect them appropriately, and you can use warm water to clean them before the baby drinks milk. If the pain symptoms on the nipples are aggravated after the blisters are broken, and the pregnant mother really can't stand it when the baby is drinking milk, you can also let the baby eat the breast milk on the other side first, manually express the breast milk on the affected limb, and resume breastfeeding after the damaged nipple is repaired.

2. Pregnant mothers should note that the main reason why the breasts are sucked with transparent small blisters is that the mammary ducts are blocked and breast milk is insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly and effectively unclog the mammary ducts to promote milk secretion. The available methods include appropriate breast massage, eating more foods that can promote lactation, etc.

The above is the available medical care methods for transparent blisters caused by nipples sucked by babies that I introduced to you today. I hope you can benefit from it after reading it. Finally, I want to remind you that pregnant mothers who are breastfeeding for the first time are also prone to mastitis. If symptoms such as breast swelling and tingling occur, you should promptly ask a doctor to help check and treat to avoid affecting breast health.
