What should I do if my nipple is broken by a breast pump?

Many pregnant women will take measures to suck out the milk through a breast pump. However, many people will have many adverse effects when using a breast pump. For example, it is very common to break the nipple. When this happens, it has a great impact on the female body. People need to pay attention to it and take timely measures to deal with it. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if the breast pump breaks the nipple?

Treatment method: First, preventive work should be done well. You should start thinking about this problem in the late pregnancy. Pick a few time periods every day to simulate the baby drinking milk, and wipe the nipples with a warm, wet towel. This will not only allow the nipple epidermis to slowly thicken, but also make it easier for the baby to learn to suck. I believe that with these two or three months of preparation, the nipples will not be so fragile. Second, control the time every day. The baby's feeding time should be within a fixed range. Too long a time will not only make the baby too full but also the nipples will rupture due to long-term immersion in water. Therefore, stop feeding immediately after the baby is full, and do not use this action for parent-child interaction. The nipples should be cleaned simply after each feeding to ensure the safety of the baby and the mother.

If the nipple is accidentally ruptured, there are ways to deal with it. First, check the damage to the mother's nipple. If it is very serious and there is bleeding, then breastfeeding should be stopped for one to two days, and a breast pump should be used to suck out the milk instead. Force-feeding at this time is not good for both the baby and the mother. If the situation is relatively optimistic, disinfect it first, apply some biological oil to keep it dry and block bacteria, and then you can breastfeed when the wound is almost healed. When the nipples are cracked, special attention should be paid to cleaning to prevent bacteria from entering the baby's body with breast milk.

There are many reasons why mothers may have cracked nipples, not just because they are unfamiliar with the procedure at first. Posture and the baby's mood can also cause these problems. Therefore, mothers should choose their baby's favorite posture and let the baby keep a calm mood before feeding. These are all good for breastfeeding. There are many dangers of cracked nipples. The mother herself will get sick and the baby will be infected. Moreover, this will cause a lot of trouble to the mother during breastfeeding, which is really not good. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of prevention. Mothers must remember to prepare in the later stages of pregnancy. Dad can also help our mom to enhance the relationship at this time.
