why does my nipple keep tearing? can i fix it?
my 5 month old mostly drinks from my left breast an when she does drink from the right one it tears almost instantly and its much smaller than the left one because i don't let her drink from it much because it keeps tearing when she drinks from it. help!!!!
are you in pain when you feed the baby? try cleaning your nipple with a warm cloth before a after feeding. if you feel any pain, consult your physician.
most often it will dry up when you stop breast feeding. wear a supportive & comfortable bra. don’t stimulate breasts. can apply ice packs several times a day for 10 to 20 minutes at a time or use acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication as needed. see more... take shatavari with milk , more & more water, methi porridge or halim porridge ..& if at all required lactare tablet ...keep on feeding as & when baby needs

breastfeeding works on supply = demand rule 


all you have to check is 6+ wet diapers in 24 hours if so baby is all healthy active and so does your supply 

meanwhile keep yourself hydrated and have balanced diet for good flow 👍🏻

babies latch due to several reasons could be hunger , thirst , comfort , love ❤️ hello dear. overfeeding is a common cause ofhiccups. if the stomach distends too fast or becomes too full, this can trigger. when breastfeeding, try slowing down feedings, and stop and burp your baby as you switch from one breast to the other. here are a few tips to reduce the baby's hiccups. taking a break from a feeding to burp your baby may help get rid of the hiccups, since burping can get rid of excess gas that may be causing the hiccups. use a pacifier. infant hiccups don't always start from a feeding. let them stop on their own. hold your baby upright for up to 20 minutes after each feed. try giving your baby smaller but more frequent feeds. take care. i breastfed all 3 of my sons, but the longest i nursed before weaning was just shy of when he was 20months old. that same boy is now 4.5 and i couldn’t imagine still nursing him at that age.... he’s a grown child by this point and speaks in full sentences and comprehends so much. the fact her daughter calls it “milky time” and is almost in kindergarten and the mom loves it is odd to me as well & a bit much to me, as this isn’t allowing her daughter to fully grow if she’s keeping her in this infantile stage. 🤷🏻‍♀️ nursing that long is obviously her choice, but i’m with you on this one. lily<br><br>thank you for visiting health24.com.<br><br>i recommend that you make an appointment with a cardiologist, to rule ischemic heart disease. you should also have a chest x-ray, a mammogram and an ultrasound of your breast done, to exclude any underlying causes.<br><br>kind regards<br><br><br><br><br>dr anrich burger i had the same problem with my boobs. when i first started pumping they both had the same yield, but after several episodes of engorgement, the supply went down tremendously. what i did was to massage my lower yield breast to ensure there are no lumps and also to power pump on that breast. power pumping repeatedly empties the breast, signalling the body to make more milk, more quickly. 

to power pump, you just need to pick a certain time of the day that you can commit an hour to pumping (i did mine at night after kids went to bed) then use the following pattern: pump for 20 minutes; rest 10 minutes. pump another 10 minutes; rest for 10 minutes. you can try it for several days and see if it helps with increasing your yield. 

good luck! you shoud take to her pediatrician or er, she might need chest x ray just to make sure there is no fraction, give her tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain, ice the sure bruised area until she gets cheched. i hope she feels better soon. good luck. see more... genetics and weight determine your breast size. the only way to increase that quickly would be either to use bra inserts or have surgery. see more... dear, if your milk production was ok earlier and now getting slow it means you are not taking healthy diet. but don't worry, here are some foods and remedies ,which can help to increase breast milk supply. first, baby sucking actually help to increase breast milk, offer your breast when baby more hungry. masur dal... this is most important. take everyday one glass masur dal with ghee. add oatmeal...cinnamon or honey..... spinach... garlic. ...brewer's yeast...fenugreek. ...apricots... in your diet as much as possible. one more simple remedies, which i tried in my time. prepare homemade powder for increasing milk supply. dry roast equal quantities of cumin and fennel seeds till they turn aromatic. cool them and grind to powder. mix ½ tsp powder in ½ tsp warm ghee and consume 30 minutes before food 2 to 3 times a day. desi ghee works best. this can be consumed for 2 weeks, followed by a break for 4 to 5 days and then repeat the cycle. this also helps to reduce colic in breastfed babies. a small portion of ajwain/ carom seeds can also be included. infants like adults sometimes need help to go but if they feed regularly and drink extra water the incidence should be monomial so if you are worried just give your infant 4 oz of nursery water a day in addition to milk. see more...
