Can I breastfeed if I cry during breastfeeding?

After a woman has just given birth, her family should not only pay attention to the mother's physical condition, but also her mood. After experiencing the hardships of ten months of pregnancy, mothers are often in a relatively low mood after giving birth, and are prone to psychological illnesses such as postpartum depression. Many mothers often cry during breastfeeding due to their bad mood, worrying that it will affect the quality of the milk and cause physical discomfort to the child. So can a breastfeeding mother still breastfeed after crying?

You can continue breastfeeding. It has nothing to do with breastfeeding. Being in a bad mood and crying will affect milk, so it will not affect normal breastfeeding. However, if you are often in a bad mood and cry during breastfeeding, it will lead to reduced milk secretion and easily cause milk congestion. Therefore, you must pay attention to keeping a good mood. You can often go out for a walk, listen to music, and relax.

What are the precautions during breastfeeding?

1. Do not take medication casually: Although breastfeeding is a little easier than pregnancy, you cannot be negligent at all, especially when it comes to medication. Many breastfeeding mothers understand that you cannot take medication casually during breastfeeding. Affecting milk secretion is a small matter, but passing it to the baby through breast milk is a big deal, which will affect the baby's growth and development. Therefore, during breastfeeding, mothers should take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of breastfeeding: Before breastfeeding, be sure to wipe the nipple with a clean hot towel and then let the baby hold it in the mouth. This can ensure hygiene. After breastfeeding, you should wipe it again to make sure there is no dirt left on the nipple, and wipe the corners of the baby's mouth clean to avoid making the baby feel uncomfortable.

3. Maintain sufficient milk: During breastfeeding, you must pay attention to drinking water and do not reduce the amount of water you drink. At the same time, you should also pay attention to nutritional matching. Only with adequate nutrition can your baby have enough milk to drink.

4. Save excess milk: If the mother still has plenty of milk after the baby is full, it is recommended to use a breast pump to suck out the milk, and then refrigerate the sucked milk. This way, you can warm up the milk and feed the baby when the baby is hungry or the mother is out. If the milk is particularly abundant, you can pour it out. Be sure to clean the breast pump to avoid mastitis caused by bacteria.
