Prevention of sore nipples |

Make sure the baby is sucking in the right way. If the sucking hurts, place your baby in the right position. Allow the nipples to dry between feedings. Feed the baby, first with the nipple that is less sore. The baby's sucking may be less vigorous after the first few minutes. Change nursing positions. Wash the nipples daily with warm water and dry it properly. Express milk until the letdown reflex occurs. This will help make the milk more available so the baby sucks less hard. Mastitis is the inflammation of breast tissue. It can occur due to the cracked nipple or blocked ducts. If left unattended this leads to abscess formation, which may require surgical intervention. Untreated mastitis can cause other infections also which can be very painful. Feeding the baby and thus draining the breasts to prevent breast engorgement is the best way to prevent it. If any signs of it are noticed, consult your doctor immediately. |

Posted on: 01/31/2011 When you are feeding the baby you should avoid foods that has spices like garlic, chili, and pepper since this may cause gas problems in the baby. It will later produced bloating symptoms. You should also avoid cow's milk since as we know it is a common cause of food allergies, it can actually cause red patches on your baby's skin. Also, Red pepper should really be avoided too since this may cause dermatitis in breastfeed babies. But, of course you have to ask advice from the expert like the doctors to be sure. There are foods that might not be good to your baby and you unconsciously eat them. |
