Milk sore prevention starts before pregnancy

  ”Milk sores, medically known as “mastitis”, are the most common disease during breastfeeding. Mastitis not only causes great pain to the mother, but also affects the baby’s ability to breastfeed properly. The main causes of mastitis are the accumulation of milk and the invasion of bacteria.  Prevention of mastitis should start before pregnancy. Especially if you have nipple deformity (invagination), it is important to do orthopedic treatment in advance. 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 on the market. Check whether the milk is empty after each breastfeeding after delivery, if there is any accumulation of milk must be emptied. You can use a breast pump to drain the milk when the milk ducts are open, but don’t use it if the milk ducts are not open. If the milk ducts are not open, do not use it. It often aggravates the blockage of milk ducts and induces mastitis. Manual breast pumping is more scientific and can better prevent mastitis. It is important to get the right approach, as it is common to see cases of mastitis aggravated by so-called “lactationists” who charge high fees for lactation. Once the milk ducts are not smooth, go to the hospital and ask for guidance and treatment from an experienced physician.
