Patient's question:
What are the consequences if milk stagnation cannot be resolved during lactation? If milk stagnation cannot be resolved during lactation, what are the consequences?Doctor's answer:
Hello, use the breast pump as early as possible. When there is no breast abscess, the milk expressed can continue to be fed. If a breast abscess occurs, the expressed milk should be discarded. See a doctor and undergo anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Maintain good local hygiene and care for the breasts. After each feeding, you can apply sheep's tallow to keep the nipples soft. Correct the baby's sucking posture to avoid repeated nipple cracking caused by incorrect sucking. Wear loose cotton bras and nursing pads and continue to breastfeed. If the pain from nipple cracking affects breastfeeding, you can use a breast pump and a special nipple shield.
