Patient's question:
Postpartum, there is milk, but the baby doesn't recognize the large nipple. The mother is swollen and in pain, using a breast pump all day. The mother is very tired and unable to rest well. She is also afraid to drink soup. However, after a cesarean section, it is difficult for the body to fully recover. The mother's health is already poor, and she often has stomach problems. Now, she is forced to take medication to wean, which will be harmful to her body in the long run. The mother is in great pain and is almost depressed. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
In your situation, breastfeeding is the healthiest option for the child. The child should develop a certain level of adaptability to the nipple. You can gradually improve the situation by allowing the child to spit out the milk and then feed them. Pay attention to drinking more broth, as it is beneficial for nourishing the body and promoting a full recovery after childbirth. It is important to remember that the child will gradually improve as they grow older. After weaning, the impact on the body is not significant, but it is not very good for the baby's health. The best approach is to gradually help the child regain the ability to suckle milk. Traditional Chinese medicine is a good choice for weaning, while Western medicine with hormones should be used sparingly.For patients facing the challenges of cesarean delivery, we should actively implement examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment following a cesarean delivery, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
