Caring for your Breasts When Breastfeeding
During pregnancy and nursing, your breasts will undergo a dramatic transformation. Pregnancy hormones can cause your areolas to darken and enlarge, as well as the milk-making tissue in your breasts to expand and get ready to make milk. Your breasts will begin to fill up with breast milk once your baby is born and your milk production begins.As long as you're nursing or pumping, your breasts don't need any particular treatment, but good care and hygiene are essential to help you feel more comfortable and avoid complications like infection or painful nipples.
Giving Your Breasts Some TLC While Breastfeeding
In terms of breast care when nursing, there isn't a whole lot you need to do beyond keeping your breasts clean, keeping an eye on your skin's moisture balance (too dry can lead to cracking, while too wet can breed bacteria), and observing any changes in your skin.It is possible that you will experience engorgement of the breasts, discomfort, tingling, and leakage of breast milk when the breasts fill with milk. All of these symptoms are common and may be alleviated by practicing good breast hygiene, which can also reduce pain and infection.
Maintain a Clean Environment
Touching your breasts should only be done with clean hands. Washing your breasts and nipples in the shower or bath with warm water on a regular basis will help keep them clean. Also, refrain from washing your breasts with soap. Dry, cracked, and irritated skin can result from soap. The natural oils generated by the Montgomery glands, which are found on the black region surrounding your nipples, can also be removed with this procedure. Nipples and areolas benefit from the use of these oils.Frequently Replace Breast Pads
Keep in mind that wetness might encourage germs to thrive if you're using breast pads or squares of cotton inside your bra to absorb up leaking breast milk. Clean, dry nursing pads can help keep your baby's nipples and breasts healthy and free of thrush, mastitis, and other infections.
Wear a Supportive Bra.
It's important to wear a bra that's supportive when breastfeeding, as well as one that's not too tight. Fabrics like cotton are great because they enable your skin to breathe.
Treat Sore Nipples
Treat Sore Nipples
Latch-on issues, engorgement, blocked milk ducts, and other unpleasant breast conditions can be avoided by nursing your infant frequently—at least every 2 to 3 hours—right from the start of breastfeeding.
Avoid using any lotions, creams, or sprays without first consulting with your healthcare professional, since certain items might hurt your infant, block your milk ducts, or irritate your skin even more.
