Many new mothers feel that breastfeeding is troublesome and want to wean, but mastitis can occur when breastfeeding does not go smoothly. Mastitis pain may go beyond the pain of your childbirth, and repeated high fever may even make you sleepless at night and break your spirit. However, this is not a reason for you to choose to breastfeed. Following the various formula milk incidents, I believe most mothers prefer to breastfeed. Breastmilk is the most natural nutrient and is indescribably beneficial to your baby’s growth and development. Among them, mother’s colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins, which can improve baby’s resistance, especially in respiratory infections and skin infections, the disease rate of breastfed babies is significantly lower than that of formula-fed babies. Breast milk also contains a variety of nutrients such as high quality protein, essential fatty acids and lactic acid, which are needed for the growth and development of babies during the 4-6 months of life, and includes all the correct ingredients to assist the development of the baby’s brain and nervous system. The vitamins, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other nutrients in breast milk are more easily absorbed by babies compared to formula. Not only for the baby, but breastfeeding has amazing benefits for the mother as well. Many mothers experience significant weight loss after giving birth, mostly due to breastfeeding, which can effectively consume the fat accumulated in the mother’s body during pregnancy, promote body recovery and avoid postpartum obesity. Breastfeeding also promotes the contraction of the uterus, helping it shrink to its previous size, reducing vaginal bleeding and preventing the development of anemia. The most important point is that the survey report of World Cancer Research Foundation shows that exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months can effectively reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and breast cancer in mothers. Therefore, we do not recommend weaning your child too early, either from the mother herself or from the baby. The duration of breastfeeding is from 6 to 10 months, or even longer. However, the pain that some mothers suffer at this time prevents them from taking into account the benefits of breastfeeding. So let’s put aside our subjective emotions and objectively analyze whether your breasts are in a good condition to be returned to breastfeeding today. There are two conditions in which doctors generally do not give lactation back 1. This is the period when the inflammation and milk are sticking together and pus is brewing. If you breastfeed at this time, you will block the path of inflammation and it will spread throughout the breast, making it easy to form a “canker sore”. Mothers should actively drain the milk and monitor the temperature to prevent pus from developing. 2. Early stage of canker sores. At this stage, mothers often ask to return to the breast because they cannot tolerate the pain, but when they do, the lumps cannot be drained and they tend to form rigid breasts, making it more difficult to eliminate the lumps. Not all mothers must insist on breastfeeding Of course, not all mothers are suitable to insist on breastfeeding. Some mothers have poor postpartum health, and if the wound does not heal long after the abscess has been incised and drained, and the milk is thin, then breastfeeding should be considered. Mothers who have difficulty in breastfeeding due to poor nipple congenital conditions and have recurrent acute mastitis should also consider returning breast milk. In the case of breast abscesses, breastfeeding should be stopped immediately because of the large number of destroyed glands. But in reality, the clinical situation is much more than that. Doctors take the time and effort to analyze the pros and cons of breastfeeding for their patients, just to get more consideration for the mother’s breast. However, mothers who have experienced the ravages of mastitis are often weak-willed and unwilling to breastfeed even for a moment. However, there are many mothers who ask to breastfeed again after a few days. The secretion of milk is closely related to the neuro-endocrine regulation, it is not like the water in the faucet, you can turn it on and have it off. If you are hesitant, it is easy to cause breast lumps and even acute mastitis again.
