Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, the baby is about to be born. Now she is particularly eager to know, when the baby is breastfeeding, is the mother only filled with happiness, or will there be any unpleasant feelings?Doctor's answer:
When the baby is breastfeeding, most of the time it is happy. But it may also cause some pain to the mother, such as nipple pain when the baby is feeding. This could be due to nipple damage, so it is recommended to apply a warm towel to the nipple daily, or apply some erythromycin ointment to the nipple. When the baby wants to feed, it should be washed off. Or conditions such as blocked milk ducts may also cause significant pain to the mother.
