Pain While Breastfeeding Your Baby?
Are you a breastfeeding mom experiencing pain and discomfort in your breasts?
You may be dealing with mastitis, a painful breast inflammation that can lead to a bacterial infection.
Up to 30% of breastfeeding people globally experience mastitis, mostly in the first three months of breastfeeding.
Mastitis is most commonly caused by an oversupply of milk, which can cause engorgement and swelling due to pressure from surrounding tissue.
This can lead to inflammatory mastitis, which can lead to bacterial mastitis.
But how does mastitis actually happen? Lactational mastitis is the most common type, which affects breastfeeding women whose nipples become cracked and sore.
This allows bacteria from the baby's mouth to enter the ducts and rapidly multiply in the milk.
Mastitis can also be caused by a blocked milk duct, leading to painful symptoms such as swollen, tender, or warm breasts, hard lumps, red marks, and even flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills.
It's crucial to care for your breasts and recognize mastitis signs and symptoms. With proper treatment, you can overcome it and breastfeed comfortably.
