There are often inquiries from breastfeeding mothers backstage that their nipples have been bitten by their babies, that they have cracked nipples, and that the mother feels severe pain when the baby sucks on the breast milk, what is the cause? And how can we solve it? The reason: the baby bites through the mother’s nipple, not the baby “hard-hearted”, may be the mother feeding method is not right. The mother did not let the baby completely contain the nipple, but only shallowly “gripped” the nipple, in order to eat the milk, the baby will try to bite the nipple with the teeth, over time, the mother’s nipple is worn out. In this way, when the mother is breastfeeding, because of nipple pain, instinctively backward to hide, the baby contains less nipple, have to use the teeth to bite the nipple, pulling the nipple, thus again damage the nipple, forming a vicious circle. The solution: the mother holds the baby’s buttocks with her hands, the mother’s elbow holds the baby’s head and neck, the baby’s upper body lies on the mother’s forearm, which is the most comfortable position for the baby to eat milk, and the mother has to let the baby completely contain the nipple. What is the best way to hold the nipple? It is to make sure that the baby takes the areola into the mouth as much as possible, not just the nipple. Health care: After each feeding, the mother should apply a little milk on the nipple to protect the nipple and not to rub the nipple with a towel to avoid abrasion. Don’t wear underwear that is too tight or too hard in texture. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular items. Although there are more treatment methods for nipple cracking, but the treatment effect is not as significant as the prevention effect, there is no one treatment drug than the prenatal mission of prevention is more effective, so nipple cracking to early prevention. 1, if the breastfeeding posture is not correct, then adjust the posture. Pay attention to the baby’s breastfeeding posture. Be sure to let the baby take all the areola in the mouth to reduce the suction on the nipple. Try to make the baby’s head and breast at the same height when breastfeeding to reduce the pulling due to sucking. 2, symptomatic treatment. No cracked nipples, mild pain when correcting the feeding position, use the auxiliary pacifier to continue feeding, breast care after feeding; such as unilateral nipple breakage, first to the healthy side of feeding; serious damage, pain or bleeding, suspend feeding for 24-48 hours to give the wound to repair time, with a breast pump to suck out the milk, pay attention to adjust the comfortable pressure, to be chapped better and then feeding. 3, you can add nipple protector for baby sucking, do not give baby bite your nipple directly. The use of nipple protectors can also prevent clothing from rubbing against your breasts to produce pain. 4.Squeeze a drop onto your nipples after feeding. Breast milk contains VE and other factors that promote healing, especially the oils from the hind milk can help moisturize the skin and promote wound healing. You can also apply erythromycin eye ointment, which is not a hormonal drug, as long as it is applied and then wiped clean with warm water before feeding. Mom can also use nipple protection cream (such as pure lanolin ointment) to promote wound healing. 5. Avoid breastfeeding for too long, usually about ten minutes. The bad feeding habits such as letting the baby take the nipple to sleep, so that the nipple is soaked by the baby’s wet mouth for a long time, is also the cause of nipple cracking. 6, to avoid excessive dryness of the nipple, cleaning the nipple and surrounding skin, should not use alkaline soap, so as not to destroy the balance of moisture and oil secretion on the surface of the nipple.
