Patient's question:
The child is nursing unevenly, with one side being larger and the other smaller. The smaller side now produces no milk, but the child can still spit it out. We want to correct this by feeding the child from the smaller side, but the milk spitted out from the smaller side is salty (while the larger side, which is being continuously fed, produces sweet milk). Can it still be consumed?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What assistance is needed: Please advise the doctor.
Doctor's answer:
Since the child always fed from one side when they were young, it led to increased milk production on the other side, resulting in uneven breast sizes.Advice: In this case, you can regularly massage the breasts, especially the smaller one. After the child finishes feeding from one side, gently massage the smaller breast from the base towards the nipple. Do this 1-2 times a day to promote breast development and milk production. As long as milk production increases, you can continue breastfeeding.
The above advice is for the question "Can I still breastfeed after stopping for two months?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
