Breastfeeding mothers have more or less experienced their nipples being bitten by babies when breastfeeding. In mild cases, the condition causes swelling, while in severe cases, it causes bleeding and suppuration. Every time the baby drinks milk, it is extremely painful. So, what should you do if your nipples are bitten by babies and become festered? Take a look at the following content. 1. When the baby bites the nipple, the mother must pay attention to her own hygiene, and apply a hot towel to warm the nipple before the baby drinks milk each time. After the nipple is sufficiently soft, the child can finish eating, because this allows the child to bite the nipple. Reduce some pain. 2. When the baby bites the nipple and it hurts a lot, you should buy a breast pump to feed the baby. This will not only reduce the pain, but also prevent the baby from being weaned. Just wash it with your hands after each use. 3. After the nipple is damaged, you can use some fresh egg yolks and fry them in a spicy dry pan. Don't put anything else in it, just put the egg yolks in and bake until oil comes out. Each time, just wipe it a few times with a cotton ball dipped in zinc oxide oil. And there is no need to wash it when the baby is breastfeeding, and it has no side effects on the child. 4. You can apply erythromycin ointment. Pay attention to nipple care on a regular basis and wipe it frequently with warm water. If it is well cared for, it will not be easily broken by suction. Because nipple fissures are not caused by the child biting the nipple. If the child cannot suckle the nipple no matter how hard he tries, it means that the child did not receive good prenatal care. 5. The nipples of newborns are fresh and tender. They are held in the baby's mouth for a long time during breastfeeding, and the nipple epithelial cells are softened. In addition, the baby exerts the strength of drinking milk, which causes the epithelial cells to fall off, ulcerate and lacerate. Therefore, be sure to frequently clean the nipples gently with warm water. Do not use soap or other detergents to clean the nipples, so as not to wash away the naturally secreted moisturizers on the nipples, and do not apply skin care oils. After feeding, you can also squeeze some breast milk and apply it on the nipples and let it dry naturally. FAQ: Nipple damage is inevitable. Don't be afraid of pain and wean your baby. It is important to take good care of the nipples. Just clean and apply warm compress every day. |
