Patient's question:
What are the consequences if milk cannot be cleared during breastfeeding? If milk cannot be cleared during breastfeeding, what are the consequences?Doctor's answer:
Hello, use the breast pump as early as possible. If 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. Pay attention to local cleaning and care of the breast. After each feeding, you can apply sheep's tallow to keep the nipple moisturized. Correct the baby's sucking posture to avoid repeated nipple cracks caused by incorrect sucking. Wear loose cotton underwear and a bra, and continue to breastfeed. If the pain from nipple cracks affects breastfeeding, you can use a breast pump and a special nipple shield.
