When children complain of breast pain, is it due to growth pain?

Children say that breast pain is due to growing pains. This type of symptom generally does not last for a long time, so don't worry too much. At this time, be careful not to squeeze the breasts, as this can easily cause inflammation. If the swelling of the breast expands, the baby has a high fever, the breasts are uncomfortable, and the baby cries and refuses to drink milk, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time and avoid delaying the condition.

In addition, it is actually a very common phenomenon that nipple marks are not formed when the nipples of baby girls are not squeezed, so mothers do not need to worry too much about it. No matter what the shape of the nipple is, as long as it is based on the appropriate feeding method and the mother and baby are used to breastfeeding, it will not cause serious obstacles to breastfeeding.

Breast care for babies

1. Pay attention to keeping breasts clean and dry. When cleaning your baby's breasts, be sure to avoid squeezing or rubbing them vigorously to avoid damaging the baby's delicate skin.

2. Compared with new clothes, clean cotton clothes are softer and can avoid rubbing the baby's tender skin.

3. When the newborn's breasts are slightly swollen, parents can gently clean the swollen area with salt water.

The baby's skin is relatively delicate, so medical care requires extra care. It is not recommended to use shower gel frequently for very young babies. Once or twice a week is enough. At the same time, when choosing the fabric for clothes, try to choose pure cotton, which is softer and more comfortable to wear. Deal with the baby's abnormalities in a timely manner and provide targeted treatment.
