1. Engorgement: When your breasts become full of milk and feel swollen, it can cause discomfort.
2. Blocked milk ducts: This happens when milk gets stuck in a duct, leading to pain or tenderness.
3. Nipple soreness: This can occur if the baby is not latching properly.
4. Infections like mastitis: Mastitis causes pain, redness, and swelling in the breast and might come with flu-like symptoms.
To relieve the pain, try these:
Apply warm compresses to the affected area to ease discomfort.
Massage your breast gently to help with milk flow.
Ensure a proper latch while breastfeeding to reduce nipple soreness.
If pain persists or you notice other symptoms like redness or fever, consult a doctor to rule out infection or other issues.
