breast
Had a baby 10 months ago not breastfeeding. Got my period a week ago. had the pain before and after. No history of Breast CAncer in my family.
) Oh the pain of breastfeeding is different than the pain during pregnancy. And I'd recommend a warm compress for now and any moisturizer should help with the itching hopefully.
They sell this jell I cant remember whats its called but it sort of helps out. It is very painful I remember the pain when I first breast fed! It was horrible and I wasnt producing enough milk so I would breast feed her on both sides yhen give her 2 oz on formula. It gets better its not always painful Im sorry you're going through the pain. Go to the store and look at all the baby area for that cream.
I never had any pain with my first. My second is 6 weeks old and I haven't had any pain this time either. So it won't definitely be painful, but it can be. My sister in law had a lot of pain breastfeeding. It is better for you and the baby. You'll pass on immunities and it can help with hormones and losing weight. It's also much cheaper and more of a bonding. HOWEVER, formula is also healthy and you can certainly still bond with your baby if you use a bottle.
What I did to prepare my breast for breastfeeding was squeezing the nipple and playing with my breast. I also bought this cream that u apply onto the breast it's made for breastfeeding it helps heal your nipple you can use it during pregnancy as well. I know this one may be kinda weird but I asked my bf to suck on my nipple and I would already start to use the breast pump I know you won't get anything out of it but it helps prepare for the sensation and pain.
I plan to breast feed. I've heard to give it a month and the pain will go away, but to stick with it.
No. You have to do what's best for you and baby. Breastfeeding isn't for everyone. I only breastfed for 5 weeks and I just didn't like it so I stopped. Of course I felt guilty about it and felt like a bad parent but it's what worked for us and my boy is healthy.
Lumps during breastfeeding may be caused by blockage of ducts which carry the milk from deep in the breast to the nipple openings. Milk that builds up behind the blockage causes the lumps and makes the breast sore. Warm compress may help provide relief. Gently massage the lump toward the nipple during and after feeding and cold packs after a feed may help relieve pain and inflammation.
U probably will have pain cuz its a learning experience for u and lo but latch is most important! Im a DD and had alot of problems but stuck it out and ended up feeding for a yr find a llactation consultant or le leche league.
Does any you breastfeeding mom have an idea why my breast be hurting n burns... I had my baby girl, she's almost 1months now n nothin seems to relieve this pain :(
just wondering what it could be.
I have had severe breast pain in my right breast for about a month. It feels like I am nursing a baby ( which I have not done in 12 years). The Doc sent me in for a mammo and Ultrasound which showed microcalcifications. "Come back in 6 months". I have NEVER had sore boobs ( except while nursing). This literally came on overnight and I can't endure this pain for 6 more months!!!! Do calcifications hurt? Do I need to do something else? I am 40 and otherwise feel great.
I'm a ftm and I'm definitely breastfeeding for at least a year. Breast is best lol you get the bonding of skin to skin contact, breast milk is better for your baby than formula and its better for the mom because you recover from giving birth much faster. Plus its free..
Hi everyone!! Does anyone know what I can use to get more breast milk? I feel like im running out of milk since I been pumping, it hurts so bad when I breastfeed her n I got sore nipples from her sucking it..
Any medication I take I can still take and when giving you medications the Dr will give stuff safe while breastfeeding. I only had pain in the nipples for a week or two until I realized how to care for them a.d the only thing that is uncomfortable is the milk let down.
Breast feeding is great I have breastfed four of my five and am still nursing my two yr old and will nurse number six due in February.
Buy a nursing pillow, breast pump and lots and lots of nipple cream that is baby safe.
Mastitis is common when women are breastfeeding ,but Inflammatory breast cancer is a very rare type of cancer that would usually present with rapid, unusual increase in breast size, redness, rash, persistent itching of breast or nipple, stabbing pain, feverish breast, swelling of lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone, nipple retraction etc...
It can be painful & annoying. I had a friend that her son would bite her & she would bleed. It can get annoying if ur out & about or u pump, but the person watching ur child runs out of pumped milk. I did not have issues with pain breastfeeding my daughter. There were times I was at work & had 2 pump bcuz my breast filled up with milk & hurt. Or I would have to pump bcuz I was leaking. Breast pump didn't hurt 2 me. Hope that helps!
