Breast Feeding Problems
October 10, 2008
Breast Feeding is essential for the infants for the few weeks particularly after birth. But many women face challenges in breast feeing, as it needs patience and care. The breastfeeding problems are common and natural these days because of the various challenges and problems faced by many women. Some of the common problems are explained in this article, which are usually observed on the first few weeks after the delivery.
Engorgement is a common problem, where the breasts may swell because of excess milk production. After the delivery, due to the excess amount of milk produced, this problem may appear within seven days. Due to engorgement, severe pain may be felt in the breasts and the breasts may be rigid and warm because of this problem. The better solution for this problem is to remove the excess milk stored in the breasts. Soft breasts will be easy for the babies to latch the milk rather than rigid breasts. Hence the engorgement problems will be hindering for the babies to latch milk effectively.
Due to plugged ducts, milk may get stored as hard lumps in the areas of the breast which may cause failure in emptying the milk storage in the breasts. Best treatment for plugged ducts is to milk the babies frequently and empty the breasts often.
Mastitis is the problem where the breasts may become red, tender and swollen due to infections. Flu like symptoms and fever may be felt by women infected by this problem. Such women will have to consult a doctor and take prescribed antibiotics. Breast Feeding should be continued to avoid any other further complications for the mother.
When the babies face problem in latching milk, some women go for weaning solution. With weaning, the milk can be extracted in a bottle and then can be fed for the babies. Weaning will not be a trouble if it is done gradually. By weaning, engorgement and milk clogging problems can be solved and better relief can be felt.
