11110919 tn?1420209467 What really helped me was to do warm compresses or a heating pad on the infected breast. Also, it hurts but works, massage it. Do the warm compress for awhile then rub it hard to the point of tears (I did) and within a few days it was better for me.
9020620 tn?1409884412 -) never microwave breast milk changes the structure of it etc. Personally I think I wouldn't return to fridge but keep it up to maybe 3 hours if baby doesn't drink it then get rid of it.
Avatar f tn Never use the microwave for heating breast milk or formula. Microwaves heat unevenly and can lead to baby being burned. Its best to just warm it under hot water.
915119 tn?1341948989 I have been having pain on both of my breast. The pain is on the sides of my breast. Even after I pump they feel full from where the pain is. Is this normal? I can't even touch them because they hurt so bad. I can't even get my arms too close to my breast because of the pain. I also have been having a fever, but the doctor said I had pnumonia. Could it be because of the pnumonia or is it something else?
Avatar f tn OK ladies I have a question... I plan on TRYING to breast feed but I want to do both since this is a first at me trying it but I want to know what's the best bottles for breast feeding n bottle feeding?
5749518 tn?1391923991 I was told that even though you aren't producing milk right now, to put the baby to the breast and let him/her suck and that should help stimulate your breast helping produce milk.
Avatar f tn ll breastfeed exclusively until I go back to work and than I pump so the baby can still get the benefits of the breast milk. WAY cheaper than having to buy formula. Especially now that you can get a free pump from your insurance due to the changes in insurance laws from obama care (or whatever the politically correct name is). Plus I read you might be able to take off cost of nursing supplies on taxes (you have to spend a certain amount on them). Can't do any of that with formula.
Avatar f tn My son is 4 days old and breastfeeding. I'm a nervous wreck about possibly getting mastitis. My left breast is harder than my right one. I'm not sure how you get this. Are there ways of preventing it? And is it even too soon to get it?
Avatar f tn t arrived yet honey your breast is just getting ready for production of the milk and baby when you have the baby your breast is gonna be a lot worse so be prepared with the ice and heating pads
9924471 tn?1419954420 If your not breastfeeding directly from the breast, I'd reccommend every 2 hours but I'm sure 3 hours isn't bad either!
Avatar f tn You can use what breast milk you produce and formula in the same bottle.
Avatar f tn My nipples are burning so bad and streaking in a few spots in and down my breast. Why? Is it my mammary glanfds over acting? And I've been cramping I'm almost 23 weks is the baby just growing?
Avatar f tn Nikki1214 is right on! Breast is best! If you can do it. The mom/babe connection is amazing and not just emotionally but physically too. If baby is getting a cold (let's say) and breastfeeds. Tiny particles of the cold are in their saliva and gets into the mother causing her body to make antibodies for herself and in the breastmilk therefore giving it to the baby. Both are covered...amazing.
Avatar f tn / Now i knew i would produce milk or whatnot BUT this isnt no tiny bit of stuff coming out.ITS ALOT.And the pain in my Boobies,especially the right one,is so uncomfortable. Is this normal? What can I do to ease the Pain.? Plz help.Sorry about the long post.
4437866 tn?1388119624 I had an infected milk duct and it traveled to my other breast. Talk about pain! But since draining they feel better. On an anti biotic treatment for 14 days. Dr said because i stopped breastfeeding and became pregnant again hormones went up and milk got trapped. Strange, didnt think that could happen..
Avatar f tn How long are you breast suppose to hurt? Im 5 months today and the pain is non stop. I've resorted to sleeping on a heating pad. But I wake up baking...lol...When is this pain going away?
6965936 tn?1394227011 I think I have mastitis! I've got a cracked nipple and I just seen yellow-infection like liquid coming out (a little). I'm going to call the clinic tomorrow but I was wondering what I should do! I feel like I'm a failure as a mother! I dont want to pump!
Avatar f tn mothers bag- birth plan, breast pads, dressing gown, going home outfit, hairbrush, healthy snacks, heating pad, insurance papers, laundry bag for dirty clothes, nursing bra, old or cheap underwear, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, 1-2 towels, extra tshirts, and your own pillow.
Avatar f tn The heating of the breast milk and losing vitamins is a myth, as so I was told.
Avatar n tn So at first ur nipples hurt so bad and u even bleed stays hurting for a couple of days but it is worthy like someone said here u save alot on formula main reason. Is not about saving but ur baby being very healthy with breast milk...my husband used to spent so much money on milk with our first child now with this one I bottle feed and breast feed just when I go out is that I bottle feed if maybe 1or two bottles but I breastfeed the most all day and night...
Avatar f tn You could do mason jars get the small ones and de-thaw by putting in the fridge, warm up by putting in warm water of a slow cooker (much gentler way of heating up). I don't know if that would work for breast milk but my sister-in-law used it to heat up formula.
Avatar f tn I will definitely be breastfeeding. Breast milk has antibodies in it that prevent cancer! It's great bonding, you lose weight super fast, and you don;t gotta get up in the middle of the night to make bottles!
4165941 tn?1353988628 )...plus no heating up bottles means a happier baby and mommy lol...but I pump when I'm going out....some.women strictly pump....its really your personal choice....but I was against it at first but once I started it was easy as pie and I know I'm giving my daughter the best from the start..
Avatar f tn The only reason I took a pt was because milk came from my breast.
Avatar f tn You are the mother and for the first week if you leave her nothing but breast milk then OOPS! She has no choice then to feed the baby breast milk. Also enlist your spouse to explain he supports you in this decision it might soften her up to it some.
Avatar f tn When will you start to get milk in your breast? I am 31 weeks and have yet to get mine, it makes me nervous cause I plan on breast feeding.
