Patient's question:
What should I do if the child has difficulty feeding because the nipple is too small?Doctor's answer:
First, use a breast pump to express the milk to prevent it from accumulating, as this can lead to mastitis. Additionally, try to feed more often. When you start breastfeeding, you are learning to breastfeed, and the baby is learning to suck. Believe in yourself; you will coordinate well. Also, you can gently pull the nipple outward more often.The occurrence of inverted nipples not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a gynecological ultrasound at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, eating light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
