Patient's question:
My baby is three months old now, and my maternity leave is over. It's time to go back to work, but I really can't bear to leave the baby. Since the baby is so small, there's nothing I can do. I was wondering, what should I do if my breasts get engorged while breastfeeding and I have to go back to work?Doctor's answer:
If you need to work during breastfeeding, it is recommended to purchase a breast pump and actively empty your breasts during working hours. It is suggested to use disposable vacuum milk bags for storage. Generally, you can pump more times a day. After freezing, the milk can be heated for the child to use, and the nutritional value will not be lost. Using a breast pump to empty the breasts can also prevent the occurrence of mastitis. Pay attention to eating light food in your diet.
