These are breastfeeding problems such as incorrect latching, low milk supply, hyperlactation, blocked milk duct, mastitis, and thrush. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a newborn doesn\u2019t know how to suckle <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Babies are born with a natural suckling reflex but they still need some guidance from the mom to know how to latch onto a mother\u2019s breast properly. A proper, strong latch is the most important part of breastfeeding. The right way for latching a baby is to make sure its mouth is covering your nipple and areola, and that the mother has adopted the correct position for breastfeeding. How can you tell if your baby is suckling the wrong way? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breastfeeding is painful<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your nipples are cracked and painful <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby is \u201cbiting\u201d your breast <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor milk supply due to low breasts stimulation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How to fix latching problems? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the latching causes problems, keep guiding the baby in the right direction by placing its mouth in the area of nipple and areola. To avoid bites, put the baby\u2019s nose close to your breast, forcing it to breathe through its mouth. If this doesn\u2019t help, seek professional help from a lactation specialist. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cracked and painful nipples <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nipples often crack and are sore at breastfeeding mothers, causing pain, discomfort and discouraging young moms from breastfeeding. These ailments can occur not only due to latching issues, but also thrush, dry skin, improper pumping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ease with sore nipples, put some lanolin cream or even just breastmilk on them after feeding. You can try feeding the baby more often, as the suckling should be less hard when they\u2019re not very hungry. Using plastic hard breast shells inside your bra will be beneficial as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low milk supply<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>impression of low milk supply<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the most common breastfeeding problems that first-time moms experience, especially in the first weeks after giving birth. If a mom feels that she is not producing enough milk, but can see her baby is gaining weight appropriately, is healthy and wets at least six nappies daily, there is no reason to worry. The main point to remember here is not the amount of milk that a mother produces, but the amount that baby needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some signs that low milk supply might be a problem can include a lack of milk leaking from the nipples, feeling that the breast is less full, or finding a baby seems to be needing more milk than usual. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disrupted breastfeeding is the main reason why women may experience low milk supply. It can also be affected by: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby\u2019s sleep during feeding time<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby\u2019s feeds have become shorter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeding baby on a routine base, rather than on demand<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal disorders <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast injury or previous surgery <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of blood during the labor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How to increase your milk supply?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breastfeeding is not a strict science and change in baby\u2019s feeding behaviors or the mother\u2019s organism may scare first-time moms. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve your supply situation. The best way to increase your supply is to stimulate your breasts to produce more milk. Frequent tries to feed the baby, massaging breasts with circular motions or even warm compress can help a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyperlactation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyperlactation is another common breastfeeding problem and it usually occurs on the 2nd to 6th day after the delivery. During this time, the breasts are producing as much as ten times more milk than needed. If it stops after a few days, it\u2019s a signal of successful lactation. However, if the hyperlactation continues, it may have negative effects for both the baby and the mother. Signs that you&#8217;re experiencing hyperlactation include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your breasts feeling fuller and heavier <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your breasts leak milk in between feedings<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel swollen <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baby may have trouble catching the breast from which milk spurts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baby may vomit after feeding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyperlactation can not only cause the mother discomfort, but also result in breastfeeding problems such as the baby refusing to feed, or getting an inadequate amount of milk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to deal with hyperlactation?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To facilitate the outflow of milk, put a warm compress on the breast<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw some milk by hand before putting the baby to your breast to help them grasp the nipple better &#8211; it can be challenging for a baby to grasp when the breast is swollen<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try as often as possible to feed a baby with full breasts &#8211; if their feeding appears to be insufficient, use a breast pump to express excess milk<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between feedings, apply cold compresses to the sore breasts <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A blocked milk duct and mastitis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clogged milk duct can be a result of a back-up of milk building up in your breast and forming lumps. Nipples get swollen and may turn red. A blocked milk duct is an easily treated breastfeeding problem: Nurse the baby often to empty the breast, massage the area and wear loose clothes around your breasts. If the lump begins to be accompanied by fever, as it may be a sign that mother is developing mastitis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mastitis (also referred to as \u201cmilk fever\u201d) occurs when a blocked milk duct is not treated. Its symptoms are similar to the flu, while the breast can become red and very painful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to do if you develop mastitis? <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treat your mastitis similarly to hyperlactation and a blocked milk duct <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seek medical care immediately after noticing the symptoms of mastitis to avoid exacerbation or breast abscess <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your doctor might recommend medication, mostly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are safe during breastfeeding, and as a last resort, an antibiotic. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nipples and baby thrush <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thrush is a yeast infection in your baby\u2019s mouth which can also spread to your breasts. Look at your baby before breastfeeding for symptoms like white patches and unusual redness in its mouth and a diaper rash. Thrush is highly contagious and can cause in symptoms for the mother, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incessant itching and cracking of nipples<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast pain during and after breastfeeding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nipples may develop a rash with tiny blisters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redness of the nipples <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How to deal with thrush? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As in the case of mastitis, you must seek medical attention immediately if you develop thrush. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both you and your baby should be given antifungal treatment; the mother with a topical nipple treatment, while your baby may also be prescribed medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get all the help you need <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these are some common breastfeeding problems there are more of varying degrees of seriousness. For a first-time mother, they can all be equally scary. The benefits of breastfeeding are widely acknowledged, but the choice of whether to breastfeed will always be yours. No matter what way of feeding your infant you will choose, you have to be sure that both you and your child will be able to get proper medical attention in case something happens. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why planning ahead and securing private maternity plan is a number one thing every parent should do. It\u2019s important to consider it early too since maternity plans come with with a minimum ten month waiting period. There are other solutions to protect the baby\u2019s health, like newborn insurance, that you can secure for any medical complications or issues arising after birth as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance specialists from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacific Prime Singapore <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are at your disposal and will gladly advise you in choosing and securing the best maternity, newborn, or family plans available in Singapore. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a free quote and impartial advice today! <\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:573,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><div class='code-block code-block-6' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/compare-quotes\/step-one\/?campSource=PPSG-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=cta_banner&utm_campaign=banner&utm_content=quote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PPSG_Gen_02.jpg\" alt=\"Get an Insurance quote banner\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breastfeeding is a natural process; however, it is not always straightforward, especially for the first-time moms.
