Patient's question:
Currently during postpartum, the baby is breastfeeding, and I can express milk myself, but the baby can't suck it out. What should I do? There's still quite a bit of milk coming out from behind the areola when I express it. What could be the reason for this??Doctor's answer:
According to your description, based on your situation, if you have inverted nipples, it is due to the inversion of your nipples preventing the baby from latching on. If your nipples are not inverted, then it may be considered that the baby is unable to suck milk. Based on your situation, it is recommended that you use a breast pump to extract milk from your breasts and then feed it to the baby.The above is the suggestion for the question "Breastfeeding during postpartum," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
