Patient's question:
The areola is relatively large, the nipple is flat, the breast pump has caused severe swelling on top, and there are many dry scabs on the nipple with a lot of blood.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, your situation may be due to your baby being too young and not yet able to adapt to the nipple. You can try various methods, such as gently placing the nipple near your baby's mouth while holding it slightly to let the milk flow into your baby's mouth. At the same time, you must pay special attention to keeping the area clean to avoid infection.Recommendations: You can also use a nipple shield to wear over your nipple. This way, your baby can easily latch on without damaging your nipple.
