Again, they are all breastfeeding.
Why do some mothers suck through even if they block milk during the confinement period, as long as they let the baby suck a few more times? However, some mothers will frequently block the milk until their mastitis is blocked.
Why do some mothers have no mastitis during the whole breastfeeding period, but some mothers are in confinement, they directly have breast inflammation, and repeatedly discourage breastfeeding.

Can mastitis be prevented?!
Is there really anyone who doesn't get mastitis?
Of course it can be prevented!
Of course not!
Among the mothers I have come into contact with, there are still many people who will make a good knowledge reserve in advance and know the power of mastitis (it really hurts!). It will affect the baby's rations! Therefore, special caution is taken with regard to feeding and breast care.
For example, they will:

1. Learn the knowledge of proper breastfeeding before giving birth, know the importance of frequent breastfeeding in the early stages of breastfeeding, and understand the early symptoms of mastitis (increased body temperature, body aches similar to flu, pain and swelling in the chest, chills or headaches, etc.). When there is an abnormality in the body, it can be detected in time and countermeasures.
2. As much as possible, ensure that the mother and baby are in the same room 24 hours a day, and do more skin-to-skin contact during feeding, so as to accurately know the baby's hunger signal and do a good job of timely breastfeeding.
3. In the actual feeding, the baby will be allowed to latch on to the breast correctly, try not to have chapped nipples (after chapped is really painful, and repeated pain ten times a day, it is really uncomfortable), so that the baby has the most comfortable position on the breast, and the mother will enjoy breastfeeding.

4. Some mothers' nipples are not very good; or when there is chapping; Or afraid of pain, do not dare to let the baby suck the nipple directly, will use a milk shield. Milk shields can solve some of the problems, but they can also delay the occurrence of lactation.
Because the nipple shield, the mother's nipple and areola are not so sensitive, the baby needs to spend more time sucking before the milk comes out. At this time, mothers need to be more patient and try to make the baby suck more.
5. Know the size of your breast volume, try not to overfill it, and avoid stuffing.
Determine how you breastfeed according to your own milk production and adjust your milk production to keep your breast's milk production in the right range.
6. When there is a slight blockage in the milk duct, know how to massage it to promote the flow of milk and ease the blockage of the milk lump.

But if you learn the above essentials, the probability of mastitis will be much, much lower!
If mastitis really happens, mothers should not panic, you may wish to take a look at these related contents: repeated mastitis, pain and death! I have mastitis, can I still breastfeed? (Part I) repeated mastitis, painful and fatal! I have mastitis, can I still breastfeed? (Part II).
Mastitis is not scary, preventable, and treatable.
The premise is that we pay enough attention.
May every mother breastfeed smoothly without fear of "inflammation".
