breastfeeding

during confinement, the practice is we cannot shower, but I still do every 2 days with herbs. so if I wanna DL my baby do I have to wash my breast everytime she wanna feed? or do you just latch straight away without cleaning your nipple? and also how to deal with leaking at night as I don't wear a bra so my shirt and bed is all wet. TIA!

I used to wipe with wet wipes before latching but now too lazy 😅 if you're clean it should be no problem. I showered everyday during confinement though. If your breast is leaking on one side while latching baby on the other side you can buy a haakaa to catch the milk so it's not wasted.

If DL ur lo, just wipe ur nipples with clean moist cloth before bf. Try to pump out to empty the milk ducts before sleep so as to minimize the leakage throughout the night. Otherwise u will need to wear breast pads to absorb the leakage.
