Can a pregnant woman with mastitis and fever breastfeed?

Because mastitis is mainly an inflammatory problem caused by bacterial infection, many women will have a fever after suffering from mastitis. Especially for breastfeeding women, they have the highest chance of developing mastitis, but the health of breastfeeding women is closely related to the health of their babies. So if a breastfeeding woman has a fever with mastitis, can she continue to breastfeed?

Mastitis is a common breast disease. Once suffering from this disease, the patient will feel uncomfortable, have breast pain, inflammation, and sometimes fever. At this time, there will be certain viruses and some bacteria in the milk in the breast. When the child eats it, it will affect the baby's physical health and have a certain impact on the baby's healthy growth. Therefore, when mothers have mastitis, the baby cannot eat. Only after the body recovers can the baby eat breast milk.

Steps/Methods:

1. When the baby is breastfeeding, mothers may have mastitis which causes fever. This not only brings certain harm to their own health, but also creates certain difficulties for the baby to breastfeed. Therefore, once mastitis occurs, mothers should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.

2. Mastitis causes fever and the baby cannot eat breast milk. You can let the baby eat some milk powder. In order to prevent the breast milk from coming back, you need to use a breast pump to suck out the breast milk. If you don’t use a breast pump, the fever will reduce the milk supply. Use a breast pump to prevent the baby from having no milk after recovery.

3. During the period of mastitis, feed your baby with milk powder, and wait until your baby recovers before letting him/her breastfeed. Patients with mastitis must be detected and treated early. For the health of the baby, they should go to a regular hospital and actively cooperate with the doctor. I hope the patient can recover soon.

Note:

Patients with mastitis are most likely to develop a fever. At this time, the breast milk will contain some bacteria, so the baby cannot eat it. The baby can only eat breast milk after the body recovers. Avoid affecting the baby, let it grow up happily, and hope the patient can recover soon.
