Some mothers often suffer from nipple damage during breastfeeding, often in the first few days after delivery, and improper treatment often leads to mastitis, causing mothers a lot of pain. Nipple damage is mainly caused by various reasons of poor breastfeeding. Some mothers may mistakenly believe that it is enough to include the areola, but as we know, the size and shape of each mother’s nipple and the size of the areola are different, so you cannot simply say that including the areola completes good articulation. When the baby sucks, the nipple extends to the junction of the hard and soft palate, the upper and lower lips turn out, the upper gums and tongue contain the base of the nipple, and through the wavy movement of the tongue, gradually move from the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, gradually occluding the nipple wrapped in the middle of the tongue, thus allowing the milk to flow out. It is also necessary to cooperate with the baby’s swallowing and breathing. As we can see, breastfeeding involves the position of the nipple in the baby’s mouth, as well as the baby’s oral structure, such as the lip tie, tongue tie, etc. Any problem in any of these aspects may cause poor latching, which may manifest as painful nipples or even nipple damage, so mothers with repeated nipple damage during the puerperium should also pay attention to other factors, and if they cannot distinguish, they can go to the hospital and ask the doctor for help. If you can’t tell, you can go to the hospital and ask your doctor for help.
