How to treat breast pain during breastfeeding?

Women's health is still of great concern to their families and society, especially during breastfeeding, when they need to ensure their health. However, various female diseases often occur frequently, such as breast pain during breastfeeding. If this phenomenon is not handled properly or not handled at all, it will lead to disease in the future, and it will be difficult to treat, so correct conditioning is still crucial.

There are many reasons for breast pain during lactation, including milk ejection reflex, breast engorgement, excessive milk secretion, etc. Depending on the different causes of breast pain, finding the appropriate treatment method can usually solve the problem of breast pain. If you learned breathing or other relaxation techniques in your antenatal class or our pregnancy school, try using them while you breastfeed. This can help relieve the discomfort caused by the let-down reflex.

If your breasts are severely engorged, your baby may not be able to latch on properly and drain your milk effectively. In this case, you can first gently express some milk by hand or use a breast pump to extract some milk until your baby is able to fully latch on to your nipple. If your breast pain is caused by overproduction of milk, your baby may have a hard time latching on to your overfilled breasts.

The baby's sucking action will stimulate a strong lactation reflex, which can easily cause him to cough and choke on milk. For this, you can try this method: Hold your baby to your chest as usual. When you feel the milk starting to burst, gently interrupt his sucking, let the initial burst of milk spray on the towel, and then let your baby suck your nipple again.

Wait until the milk flow slows down before letting him suck on the nipple. The more often your baby latches on correctly, the faster your milk supply will adjust to your baby's specific needs, and the more comfortable you will feel. If your breast pain doesn't get better within a few days, you should see a doctor to rule out more serious problems, such as a yeast infection or mastitis.

After listening to the above description, breastfeeding women will naturally know how to deal with the problem of breast pain. I believe that after listening to it, everyone will now be familiar with breast pain during breastfeeding. In fact, some girls will not go to the hospital for consultation when this happens because they are lucky enough to do so, not realizing that the consequences can be very serious.
