You might have mastitis. Here&#8217;s how to get back to breastfeeding without the pain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most mothers out there will develop a love\/hate relationship with breastfeeding. On one hand, it can be considered one of the most natural and precious of bonding experiences between mother and baby; an almost sacred act of love. To quote David Suzuki, \u201cA baby nursing at a mother&#8217;s breast is an undeniable affirmation of our rootedness in nature.\u201d On the other hand, while there&#8217;s so much to love about nourishing and feeding your baby, it also comes with its fair share of hardships too. The many struggles that arise with breastfeeding \u2013 not to mention society\u2019s perpetual squeamishness and stigma towards doing it in public \u2013 can make this supposedly pure and beautiful act unbearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact\nremains that while some mothers have no problems breastfeeding, enjoying the\nexperience and weaning when they and their bubs are ready, many mums struggle\nto make it work. Being the sole source of nourishment for your baby is a lot to\ntake on physically and mentally, and among the most dreadful of afflictions\ntargeting breastfeeding mothers is mastitis, which occurs when there is an\ninflammation of breast tissue that is sometimes accompanied by an infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bosom Bother<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After nursing\nher daughter for four months with virtually no issues, mother-of-one Hazel C.\nstarted noticing tender and swollen lumps in one of her breasts. \u201cI was still\nproducing a healthy amount of milk, and my baby had no problem latching and\nconsuming it. But there were times when she would only go for small amounts \u2013 I\ncall it a snack round \u2013 before calling it a day,\u201d she shares. \u201cPlus, I wasn\u2019t\nkeeping up with my pumping as religiously as before since I returned to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, she\ntried to get rid of the swollen spots using hot compresses, coupled with\nself-massages and a more rigorous pumping routine. When these failed to work,\nshe signed up for a lactation massage. But not only did the lumps not go away,\nHazel even developed flu-like symptoms like body aches, chills, and fatigue.\nThis prompted her to check in with a breast specialist, who diagnosed her with\nmastitis. She was put on a round of antibiotics to clear up the inflammation\nand underwent manual drainage via needle aspiration to remove the pus, reduce\nswelling, and provide instant relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Mastitis Misery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hazel\u2019s story\nand experience with mastitis may resonate with some mums out there. After all, up\nto 10 percent of mothers who breastfeed develop mastitis, according to the SingHealth\nDuke-NUS Breast Centre, and in some rare circumstances, this condition can also\noccur outside of lactation in non-breastfeeding women, known as Idiopathic\nGranulomatous Mastitis (IGM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two\nmain causes of mastitis. The primary cause is a clogged milk duct, which can\nhappen when milk isn\u2019t removed frequently or efficiently enough from the breast\nduring breastfeeding or pumping, and the channel through which milk flows\nliterally becomes so overwhelmed that milk builds up and is unable to flow out,\nresulting in the formation of tender lumps. Mastitis also occurs when bacteria\nenter the breast through a break or crack in the skin of your nipple or through\nthe opening to the milk ducts in your nipple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA crack on the\nnipple from a poor latch or poor pumping can allow them to get inside the\nbreast and create infection,\u201d says Leigh Anne O\u2019Connor, an International Board\nCertified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). \u201cAs with a clogged milk duct, this can\nalso lead to an inflammatory response.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The red flags\nof mastitis can appear almost instantaneously. These include tenderness and\/or\nswelling of the breasts, the presence of thickened breast tissue or lumps, pain\nor a burning sensation that keeps coming back during breastfeeding, red patches\non the skin, or a fever of 38.3 degrees Celsius or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Avoiding The Boobie Trap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper latching\nof the baby to the areola is the best way to\u200b prevent mastitis. This ensures\nthat the baby gets a full, proper feed and the milk is effectively drained from\nthe breast. \u201cAvoid skipping or missing a feed. If you are unable to feed, drain\nyour milk by expressing with your hand or a pump to avoid accumulation of the\nmilk in the breast,\u201d says Ms \u200bCynthia Pang, Assistant Director of Nursing and\nSenior Lactation Consultant at the Lactation Clinic, KK Women&#8217;s and Children&#8217;s Hospital\n(KKH). \u201cEnsure the breasts are well drained after a feed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may also\nhelp to switch up your nursing position to help empty your breast completely of\nbreast milk. Experiment using different techniques: a cradle hold may work for\none breast while a side-lying position may work better for the other. Alternate\nbetween breasts, allowing your baby to completely empty one breast before\nswitching to the other breast during feeding. Avoid exerting too much pressure\non your breasts by swapping ill-fitting bras and tight clothing with lighter\nand less restrictive ones. Lastly, practise good hygiene habits such as\ncleaning your hands with soap and water before and after feeds, and keeping\nyour nipples clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Side Bar]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Cabbage Cure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breast\nengorgement may be experienced by some new mums when their milk supply arrives\na few days into giving birth, especially when more milk is produced than their\nbreast can contain. While engorgement is temporary and can be easily treated,\nit can lead to mastitis when left unaddressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An effective (though unorthodox) solution? Cabbage leaves. Besides the cooling effect, cabbages also contain glucosinolates, which can help alleviate the swelling. A study conducted on 227 mothers with breast engorgement by Dr Wong Boh Boi, Deputy Director (Clinical) and Senior ParentCraft Educator from Thomson Medical Centre, revealed that those who applied cabbage leaves reported significant reductions in hardness and pain of breasts compared to those who used cold gel packs. That said, limit cabbage use to 20 minutes no more than three times per day as it can decrease milk supply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><em>The article was first published in the Parents World Magazine -Issue 72<\/em><\/pre>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soreness in your breast during nursing?
