Patient's question:
My daughter-in-law is 35 years old this year, a high-risk pregnancy, and currently both mother and child are doing well. She is resting at home. How should she start breastfeeding for the first time?Doctor's answer:
1. If you feel breast fullness when just starting to nurse, avoid using hot water for cold compress. Instead, use a cooler towel for cold compress, which will help reduce the symptoms of fullness and pain. Additionally, you can also use manual massage techniques. Massage from the surrounding area of the breast towards the areola and nipple. This may be painful, but it is very effective.2. In terms of diet, you can consume more types of soup that are beneficial for milk production. For example, chicken broth. Also, eat more high-nutrient, high-fat foods such as eggs and meat. And drink plenty of water.
