What should I do if a nipple blister is sucked?

When mothers are breastfeeding their babies, some abnormal conditions often occur. For example, some babies may suck too much, or if the feeding posture is incorrect, the mother's nipples may be sucked and blisters may appear. At this time, the nipples may be very painful. At this time, you must not let the baby suck the nipple. You must protect the nipple. If the situation is serious, you can take the following methods to solve it.

What should I do if blisters appear after nipple suction?

It is nipple cracking, which is caused by feeding posture problems. When feeding, try to let the baby suck most of the nipple, and the feeding time should be more than 20 minutes. After feeding, release the nipple and then take the baby's head away. If the cracking is severe, stop breastfeeding for 24 hours and use erythromycin ointment.

If nipple blisters are painful due to nipple sucking, you can pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and use anti-inflammatory ointment for treatment, and you will gradually recover.

Guidance:

It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat a light diet, pay attention to nipple cleanliness and hygiene, and apply anti-inflammatory ointments such as erythromycin ointment topically, and you can gradually recover.

At the end of each feeding, squeeze out a little milk and apply it on the nipples to protect them, and use a milk patch to feed your baby.

When the baby is breastfeeding, the nipple is partially damaged. If a scab forms, it is considered to be healing soon. It is recommended to wait until the scab falls off before breastfeeding.

Suggestions: In the current situation, you can squeeze out the milk from this breast for the baby to feed, or put a latex nipple on the nipple to avoid irritation to the local damage of the nipple and let the scab fall off as soon as possible.

If you need symptomatic anti-infection treatment, you can use iodine to disinfect, or use erythromycin ointment to apply to the affected area. You can also take antibiotics if necessary. Of course, you can also use artificial rubber nipples and apply them to the affected area, so that the baby will not directly contact the nipples.

If blisters are formed on the nipple due to sucking by the baby, you can disinfect it with iodine and then apply erythromycin ointment locally. If the pain is severe, you can use a breast pump to extract the milk and feed it to your baby.

It is recommended to avoid irritating the affected area as much as possible, keep the affected area clean as much as possible, and avoid spicy and greasy food.

Suggestions: You can use a needle dipped in a little alcohol to disinfect it, and then pick it open. You can also let the baby suck it more. If the baby can suck it open, of course it will stop hurting immediately after it is picked open, and you can breastfeed.
