Pain under breast during breastfeeding?

Women who are breastfeeding need to take better care of their breasts. If there is a problem with the breasts, they cannot feed their babies. Some women experience pain under the breasts during breastfeeding, which may be caused by milk congestion. Generally, the milk can be discharged in time. If there is a lump in the breast, it is likely that the milk duct is blocked and the milk cannot be discharged. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital for examination, dredge the breasts, and prevent mastitis.

There are several reasons for breast pain without lumps during lactation: 1. Nipple cracks. Cause: Failure to take good care of breasts during pregnancy; Failure to master correct breastfeeding techniques. Treatment: Clean and care for the breasts. Apply lanolin after each feeding to keep the nipples soft and smooth. Correct the baby's sucking posture to avoid repeated nipple cracks caused by incorrect sucking. Wear loose cotton underwear and bras and continue breastfeeding. If the pain of nipple cracks affects breastfeeding, you can use a breast pump and a special nipple shield. 2. Breast pain. Reason 1: Milk stasis. Treatment: Wear a comfortable bra, apply hot compress on the affected side for 3-5 minutes before breastfeeding, massage the breast to clear the lumps, increase the number of feedings, express milk correctly and use a breast pump. Reason 2: Mastitis. Treatment: Use a breast pump as early as possible. If there is no breast abscess, the expressed milk can be used to continue feeding. If a breast abscess occurs, the expressed milk should be discarded. You should see a doctor and receive anti-inflammatory treatment under the doctor's guidance. 3. Nipple illusion. Cause: Within one month after the baby is born, if the mother's milk production is low or the mother and baby are separated for various reasons, such as feeding the baby with milk from a bottle, the baby may no longer be willing to suck the mother's nipple. Solution: Be confident in breastfeeding and don't give up easily; make full use of the breast pump to help mothers promote milk secretion in various difficult situations; use auxiliary feeding devices and special feeding cups, and try to avoid using bottles.
