Breast Health Counseling for Pregnant and Nursing Mothers
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are incredible and responsible periods in a woman’s life. However, many women choose not to breastfeed for various reasons: lack of information on its benefits, lack of support, insufficiently trained medical staff, social isolation, and aggressive marketing of breast milk substitutes.
During lactation, it’s important for mothers to care not only for their baby but also for their own health, especially the health of their breasts.
Why is this important?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to various breast conditions, such as nipple cracks, milk stasis (lactostasis), mastitis, and inflammation. Regular counseling helps to prevent these issues, making the lactation period more comfortable.
What should you pay attention to?
If you notice any lumps in your breast, changes in skin color or shape, it’s essential to consult a breast specialist.
Why does this matter to every mother?
Proper breast care not only prevents potential complications but also helps to prolong a healthy breastfeeding period. If you plan to end lactation, your doctor will provide safe and comfortable recommendations.
