Better po kung mai-address po muna ang cause ng mga sugat sa utong para maiwasan. Make sure po to learn how to DEEP LATCH. Common po ang nipple pain sa breastfeeding moms kasi ang usual advice na natatanggap natin ay "natural lang yan. Tiisin mo lang, masasanay ka rin" 😢 but the truth is that breastfeeding is NOT supposed to be painful. Kapag masakit po, i-unlatch si baby and try again (insert a clean finger sa pisngi ni baby to break the suction). Medyo challenging po at first na mamaster ang deep latch pero once nakuha nyo na po, it's well worth it. Watch this video on how to avoid nipple pain: https://youtu.be/WVEABNhXr1A?si=Y1f8voRdjOHSp51D 🤗 If may milk bleb naman (kulay puti, parang milk pore po sya na na-block ng milk, masakit at mahapdi po), also caused by shallow or improper latch. As for treatment, tiis na lang po muna pero kailangan na patuloy ipalatch kay baby para mawala. Ito po effective treatment sakin "Saline solution. To remove the blockage, soak the nipples in a solution of salt and warm water." https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321714#best-remedies Lastly, kung kinakagat naman ni baby, huwag po itolerate. Basta kapag nasasaktan kayo, iunlatch nyo agad sya (insert a clean finger sa pisngi ni baby to break the suction), then calmly say "no biting". Huwag sigawan or magreact in an animated way, which they might find amusing and make them do it intentionally. Soon enough, matutunan rin ni baby that whatever it is he's doing is wrong and will result to "no more dede" kaya titigilan na nya eventually ☺️
