Is it okay if you don’t open your breasts?

Whether or not to start breastfeeding after childbirth needs to be decided according to the maternal lactation, if lactation is normal, you can choose not to start breastfeeding. The main purpose of breastfeeding is for women who have a small amount of milk secretion or a large amount of milk stagnation in the breast. If a woman has a normal amount of milk secretion after giving birth, she can satisfy the newborn’s normal feeding, she can choose not to breastfeed, and pay attention to letting the baby suck often to stimulate the milk secretion. If a woman’s milk production cannot meet the nutritional needs of her newborn due to malnutrition or underdeveloped mammary glands, she needs to promote lactation through professional milk opening. In addition, for women who produce more milk, resulting in milk stagnation, they also need to open their breasts to avoid milk staying in the breasts for a long period of time, which may cause bacterial growth or infections. It is recommended that women consult their doctors and take into account their own milk secretion and other conditions to choose whether or not to start breastfeeding.
