  • 9 breastfeeding problems in the first month – solved
    Expert advice for overcoming common breastfeeding problems during the first month

    problemas da amamentacao

    Cathy Garbin, child health nurse, midwife and lactation consultant:
    Cathy was a Research Associate at the prestigious Hartmann Human Lactation Research Group for seven years, while also supporting breastfeeding mothers at home and in hospitals. A mother of two, she continues to work with families, organizes study days for healthcare professionals and participates as a speaker at international conferences.
    Breastfeeding is a learned technique, just like driving and in the first few months some mothers and babies may have some mishaps along the way! It takes time and practice, until you both feel it's instinctual. Dealing with breastfeeding challenges now means you have a better chance of establishing good milk supply and continuing to breastfeed for longer. Here are my tips for overcoming the most common breastfeeding difficulties mothers experience from the end of the first week to the end of the first month.

    Problem 1: I have a painful lump in my breast
    There are several reasons for having lumps and bumps in a lactating breast. One of the most common is a blocked duct, clogged with milk, which gives rise to a hard lump that can be painful and tender.

    Solutions

    Massage the affected area, especially when breastfeeding or expressing milk, to help release the blockage.
    Gently press the breast with a warm flannel, or take a warm bath or shower before a breastfeeding session, to ease discomfort.
    Continue to breastfeed normally to avoid the risk of milk accumulating, which can lead to mastitis.
    Try expressing from the affected breast after breastfeeding sessions to ensure good milk drainage and to help remove the obstruction, allowing the duct to work again. You can consult Medela's complete portfolio of extractors and choose one that meets your needs.
    Ask for information about therapeutic ultrasound treatment. If you often have blocked ducts, your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist may recommend this procedure, which can help the milk flow again. It is performed by a physical therapist.
    See your healthcare professional if you notice signs of infection (a reddened, painful breast, or flu-like symptoms such as a high temperature, aches and pains, or headaches), or if you think the lump is unrelated to the condition. breast-feeding.


    Problem 2: My breasts are red and sore
    If one or both of your breasts are red and painful and that's not due to a blocked duct, you likely have mastitis. This is a condition where the breast tissue becomes inflamed. Signs include a red, hot spot, tenderness, flu-like symptoms - getting hot and cold, joint pain, and a temperature higher than 38.5°C (101.3°F). If you have these symptoms, see your doctor immediately. Mastitis must be treated quickly as it can get worse within hours.3

    Causes of mastitis can be:

    a blocked channel that has not been treated
    bacteria that got into your breast through cracked or injured nipples
    the baby latching on to the breast
    prolonged intervals between breastfeeding sessions
    breasts too full
    wearing a bra or clothing that is too tight that "cuts" the skin
    weaning your baby quickly from breastfeeding
    an excessive production of milk

  • Solutions
    In addition to seeking medical advice, you can try the following self-treatment tips:

    Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen (not aspirin) for pain relief, as directed on the package or by a pharmacist.
    Continue to breastfeed or express frequently. Your milk is still safe for your baby to drink. Milk flow helps to clear any blockages and prevent future build-up. Stopping suddenly can make symptoms worse. You may need to express any remaining milk after breastfeeding sessions.
    Offer your baby the affected breast first. This may help the baby to drain it properly. If it is too painful, start with the unaffected breast to start the milk flow and then change.
    Rest, drink and eat well. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious foods.
    Massage the area in a hot bath or shower, or compress with a flannel or a warm compress to help release the blockage and relieve symptoms, before your breastfeeding session or pumping.
    Use a warm compress after feeding sessions to reduce inflammation.


    Problem 3: I feel exhausted
    Breastfeeding can sometimes be tiring and unrelenting during the first few weeks. Your baby will likely feed every few hours, day and night, while you are still recovering from the birth.

    Solutions

    Take care of yourself. This can be easier said than done when you have a newborn, but get as much rest as possible, try to eat regularly and healthily, and drink plenty of water. Seek help from your partner, family and friends, even paid help if you can.
    Breastfeeding lying down. You may feel more relaxed and feel less pressure on painful areas, seams or scars from the cesarean section.
    Don't miss breastfeeding sessions. A dear and well-meaning person can offer to bottle feed your baby while he rests. While this is tempting, it is advisable to establish milk supply through breastfeeding for the first four weeks. Once breastfeeding is established, you can try giving your baby a expressed milk feeding session, but until then, ask family and friends to take care of other tasks so you can focus on breastfeeding.


    Problem 4: How can I make more breast milk?
    It's easy to lose confidence in your breast milk supply, especially when your baby goes through developmental spurts, common in the third or fourth week. You may think he has increased breastfeeding sessions because he is not producing enough breast milk, but if your baby continues to have the regular amount of wet and dirty diapers - see Breastfeeding: What to Expect in the First Month - he is probably breastfeeding with more often for the sake of comfort. It's easy to be shaken by everything you see and hear again around you, and breastfeeding makes you feel safe.4

    Solutions

    Avoid supplementing breastfeeding sessions with formula unless healthcare providers are concerned about your baby's weight gain or hydration levels. Continue to breastfeed your baby to naturally increase your milk supply. It will be all right in no time.
    Don't stick to a breastfeeding schedule. Breastfeed your baby on demand to ensure your milk supply matches his needs.
    Use a breast pump to increase breast milk production, in addition to continuing with breastfeeding sessions.


    Problem 5: I have too much milk
    Hyper-breastfeeding, or excessive milk production, can cause breastfeeding difficulties for you and your baby. While suffering from swollen breasts that leak milk and are uncomfortable, your baby may be straining to latch onto the breast, start choking on your fast flow of milk, and may not be able to finish the breastfeeding session well.6

    Solutions

    Express some breast milk at the beginning of a feeding session to reduce the force of your let-down. Do not extract too much, as this can make your overproduction problems worse. Extract just enough to relieve discomfort. Try expressing manually, or use a breast pump (see our range of breast pumps to find one that suits your needs).
    Use a towel or cloth diaper to wipe off any excess milk, or place a breast milk cup on your other breast while breastfeeding to catch any milk loss.
    Make sure your baby feels supported. Hold it firmly (makes it feel secure) and in a comfortable position where you can move your head. Talk to him during the initial rapid flow so he doesn't feel surprised and doesn't pull away from the breast.
    Consult a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist who will examine both and may suggest breastfeeding on one side or breastfeeding on each breast for fixed periods of time as ways to regulate your milk supply.
    Be patient. Milk production problems usually improve after a few weeks.


    Problem 6: My breasts are out of balance!
    You may notice that your baby prefers to hold one breast, or that one breast produces more milk than the other, which can cause them to be a different size or shape. This is very common and should not cause any problems when breastfeeding. If it's not bothering you or your baby, you don't need to do anything about it, but there are things you can try if you feel embarrassed.

    Solutions

    Offer the least used breast first for each feeding session, as your baby usually sucks more vigorously at first.
    Use a breast pump to help increase breastfeeding in the less efficient breast.
    Don't forget the fuller breast. You will need to continue to breastfeed from the larger breast as well, to avoid blocked milk ducts and mastitis.
    Consult the doctor. Sometimes an ear infection can cause your baby to only breastfeed on one side. This is because some positions can cause discomfort. Holding it in a more upright position can help. Also, if you have a breast infection, it can change the taste of your milk and put you off.


    Problem 7: I have a blister on my nipple
    The demands of frequent breastfeeding can sometimes cause painful friction or a blood blister on the breast, nipple or areola.7

    Solutions

    Ask a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist to check how your baby latches on to the breast. Superficially grasping the breast can cause blisters on the nipple or areola.
    Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen (not aspirin) up to an hour before breastfeeding your baby to relieve pain during breastfeeding.
    Try different breastfeeding positions to avoid putting pressure on the sore area.
    Use ultra pure lanolin cream to relieve pain.
    Use breast pads to prevent clothing from irritating the blister and to help it heal through air circulation, or try cooling hydrogel pads to relieve pain and encourage recovery.
    Try extracting. Using a breast pump can be an alternative to getting milk without irritating the blister. Make sure you use the correct size funnel so that the nipple can move freely without rubbing against the funnel tunnel.
    Do not burst the blister as it may cause an infection.
    See your doctor if the problem persists and is painful.


    Problem 8: I have a painful white spot on my nipple
    When the opening of a milk duct becomes blocked with thick milk, or when a thin layer of skin grows over it, a tiny white or yellow dot can form at the tip of the nipple. These clogged milk ducts – sometimes known as milk bubbles – can cause localized pain in some mothers, especially while breastfeeding or expressing. Others feel no discomfort. The white blisters can persist for days or weeks, until the skin eventually breaks and the hardened milk can escape.8

  •  

    Solutions

    Follow the advice above to deal with friction blisters.
    Release the lock if you can see the clog of protruding milk. Try to remove it carefully with very well washed nails.
    Continue breastfeeding or expressing to try to get the duct working normally again. It won't hurt your baby if the channel is cleared while he's breastfeeding.
    Apply a warm, damp flannel over the blister immediately before breastfeeding or pumping to encourage the blocked channel to open. You can also try rubbing it vigorously with a clean, damp flannel.
    Express milk manually before breastfeeding, to try to pull out hardened milk "strands". If it doesn't work, breastfeed or pump normally. Repeat several times a day.
    Dip a cotton ball in oil and leave it in the bra next to the nipple with the bubble. It can help to soften the skin.
    Consult your doctor if the problem persists. A healthcare professional, lactation consultant, or breastfeeding specialist can remove the obstruction with a sterile needle. This should be done after breastfeeding, when the blister is most prominent.


    Problem 9: My nipples hurt when I breastfeed
    It's normal for your nipples to be sensitive, or even sore, in the early stages of breastfeeding, but this usually stops happening after a few days. If the way your baby latches has been evaluated by a specialist and the pain persists, or if you feel nipple pain whenever you breastfeed, you may need medical help to resolve the problem.2,7

    If you have any of these symptoms and signs in one or both breasts, during or after breastfeeding, you may have a bacterial infection or breast thrush:

    burning, itching or prickling sensations in the nipples, either mild or intense
    nipple pain intensified by clothing touching the breast
    nipple soreness that continues even after adjustments have been made to the way your baby latches onto the breast
    nipples that are sensitive to touch
    searing, sharp, burning, deep pain
    breast pain throughout the feeding session and up to about an hour afterward
    bright red nipples
    a change in the color or texture of the areola – bright pink, darkened, dry, or flaky
    a whitish rash on the areola or breast
    Also check if your baby has the following symptoms and signs:

    thick, white patches or films on the tongue
    white spots on the cheeks that don't go away with rubbing
    an irritation on the buttocks, bright red, with spots, which does not go away with creams for irritation caused by diapers
    Solutions

    Consult the doctor. Your healthcare professional will likely want to take a sample of your nipples to see what type of infection, if any, it is. Bacterial infections are treated differently from fungal infections like breast thrush, so it's best to get proper treatment as early as possible. There are other causes of similar nipple pain, including eczema, psoriasis or vasospasm (narrowing of blood vessels) in mothers, or poor latching or tongue-twisting in babies. Therefore, it is important to have an accurate diagnosis.
    Have good hygiene practices. Wash your hands before and after breastfeeding, applying any treatment and changing diapers. Change breast pads frequently, wash bras, tops, and towels at a high temperature, and thoroughly wash breast shields and any parts that come into contact with baby's mouth, such as teats.
    Let the nipples dry after feeding sessions, as infections develop in warm, humid environments.
    See your healthcare professional again if you don't feel any improvement after a few days. Don't let the problem get worse.
