A. if you are facing any problems regarding breastfeeding during your lactation period it is always better to take help from your lactation expert who will recommend you various methods for improvement. the phenomena of breastfeeding is completely related to hormones and the signal sent to the brain with your thoughts so it is very important to stay positively motivated and ditcontinue to put efforts.medicines re not of much help.if there is then you can apply cold press locally and take Dolo tablet which is safe during this period.

Q. #AskTheExpert My right breast became engorged after about 1.5 months of giving birth. Due to this my baby has developed a greater affinity towards feeding from right breast due to better milk flow. Even though I try feeding him from my left breast he latches on to it for a very short time and then starts crying. Due to this my breasts have become lopsided. As in the right breast has become much bigger than the left one. Will the problem resolve once I stop breastfeeding?

Q. #AskTheExpert My son is 7 months old now. when he was one or two months old I use to get fever regularly due to milk congestion in right breast. I had nipple crake in right breast at third month and post that He nurses only from the left breast. I use to hand express the milk from the right breast to maintain the production and avoid any congestion and feed him that through spoon. Now he has started with solids. so there is no requirement of more milk. left breast milk is enough. how long should I hand express milk from right breast? I feel like feverish whenever I don't hand express the milk. is this due to milk congestion? what should I do?
