Babies who have bitten their breasts should pay attention to cleaning, suspend breastfeeding and anti-infection treatment if necessary.
When breastfeeding, mothers should pay attention to alternate breastfeeding bilaterally to prevent nipple skin breakage and infection due to baby sucking or grinding and biting the nipple. If it is not possible to avoid the above situation, you should pay attention to cleaning and sterilizing the local skin after the nipple skin is broken, and if there is no infection, you can continue breastfeeding.
If there are symptoms of infection such as fever, pus, oozing, etc. after nipple skin breakage, breastfeeding should be suspended on the affected side, and topical (e.g., erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, etc.) or oral antibiotics (e.g., penicillin, etc.) can be used to treat the infection at the same time of disinfection and cleansing.
After the baby bites the skin of mother’s nipple during breastfeeding, care should be taken to keep the skin clean, and in serious cases, relevant treatments should be carried out under the guidance of specialized physicians.
