Patient's question:
The baby hasn't been feeling well recently, so I haven't been breastfeeding, but I've been expressing milk every day. Today, after expressing milk at noon, I tried again but there wasn't much milk. There's a hard lump on the right side. I applied cold compress and expressed it, but there wasn't much milk. Is this a sign of weaning?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible to have this condition, especially when the postpartum period is prolonged. Sucking the nipple helps to stimulate milk production, so it is still recommended to suck the nipple and empty the breasts to help with milk production. The above content is the complete answer to the question "What should I do if my baby is not feeling well and cannot breastfeed?" I hope the patient can soon overcome the disease and recover quickly!
