Common Problems When Breastfeeding

There are many advantages of breastfeeding. However in some cases, mothers get some problems when they begin to breastfeed their child.

I will provides a useful overview of common problems of breastfeeding, and offers solutions that can guide you breastfeed your child. I recommend you to meet professional consult if unable to resolve your problem.

Breast Pain

Some experience pain in their breasts at times when mothers are weaning their child. This could be happened when too much milk production.

The hormone is actually released as a result of suckling. However, certain situations or conditions may also lead to the release of the hormone breastfeeding mothers to think about your baby, or see a baby crying or hungry. This condition causes a slight tingling sensation in some mothers to pressure, discomfort or pain in others.

Blocked Ducts

It's also called mastitis, is another problem facing breastfeeding mothers. Mastisis cause within the breast to become red, sore or inflamed, and is usually due to poor pumping of the breasts or wearing unfitting bra. Blocked ducts, also called the inflamed ducts is caused when the child is not "milking" correctly. This will ensure that the milk is forced to return to the breast tissue, instead of being pumped out, resulting in swelling, lumps in the breast shape that can be painful. Make sure your child grasped firmly in hand.

Sore Nipples

Sore nipples are due to several causes, such as an unfitting bra, using unsuitable creams and soaps that can dry the skin and cause dermatitis, or perhaps due to a poorly latched baby. Sore nipples are not "integral part" of breastfeeding, which is understood by many women. In fact, breastfeeding should be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby, and all issues should be dealt uncomforting professionally. If your child has teeth, it can also cause sore nipples.

Some other scenarios obvious breast refusal include the introduction of liquids or solids in the diet of the child, leaving the child to feel "full" and do not want to feed your milk. If there is a failure in the emotional bond between you and the baby, which can also lead to a refusal of the breast, as if you were away from your baby for a while to work, or if you leave the baby cried several times before eating, it may interfere with the routine of the child. Some other cases of refusal of the breast can include certain smells of products that you used as a perfume or lotion, which can delay the child.

Engorged Breasts

Breastfeeding mothers often find engorged breasts during the first days or weeks after birth. It usually occurs because of excess milk in the breasts, which can cause the breasts to be swollen, tender, lumpy and uncomfortable. Engorged breasts only last a few days, and once your baby starts to feed comfortably on your chest, your breasts feel soft.

Low Milk

Mother's breasts produce enough milk to meet baby's needs. If the baby does not latch properly or has been introduced to other foods in the diet, then your breasts produce more milk. To allow your breasts to produce enough milk, make sure you feed your baby often. Do not expect a regular routine before feeding your baby. Once the baby is hungry, you must give your breasts without waiting for a "complete" or a period of three hours to complete.

Whether you're a new mom or have breastfed before, you may experience some of these problems at once. Make sure to know the reasons for each of the problems and solutions to solve them and continue to feed your baby.
