Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What causes breast leakage?Doctor's answer:
1. Irregular milk secretion In the first 6 weeks after starting breastfeeding, the mother's milk supply and the baby's demand are still in a period of adjustment, and there is no established pattern. It is easy to experience leakage when it's time to change the diaper.2. Milk let-down reflex Due to certain reasons, milk let-down reflex may occur again, such as seeing other mothers breastfeeding, having other babies crying around you, or breastfeeding with the other breast. These can all lead to leakage.
3. Breast structure The position of the nipple being lower in terms of breast structure can also cause leakage.
4. Excessive milk production Some mothers produce more milk than the baby needs. If they do not pump promptly, the breasts may become full and milk may leak naturally.
