Can baby sucking help relieve breast engorgement pain?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Completely normal. When there is a lot of milk in the breasts, the pressure increases, which can cause a feeling of swelling and discomfort. After the baby feeds, as the breasts empty, the local pressure decreases, and the discomfort is relieved, making you feel. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry. At this time, it is also important to pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the breast area.
