What causes nipple pain in babies after sucking milk1

  After a baby finishes breastfeeding, nipple pain may be caused by excessive strength leading to nipple rupture, which is also known as nipple cracking. This situation is usually caused by the baby's improper breastfeeding posture. If the baby's mouth is too small, it cannot hold most of the female areola, and just holding the nipple can easily cause nipple cracking. If bacteria invade, it may also cause other diseases.

  There is another situation that should be noticed by women. Mastitis may also cause women's breast tingling. Mastitis is a very common phenomenon among women now, especially the incidence rate of mastitis in lactating women is still very high. Breastfeeding mastitis is generally caused by the baby sucking too hard or the milk is not empty.

  Breast hyperplasia can also cause nipple pain. Breast hyperplasia is generally caused by fatigue, mental stress, irregular lifestyle, and excessive stress. Breast hyperplasia is generally divided into physiological hyperplasia and pathological hyperplasia. If it is physiological hyperplasia, medication can be used to regulate it. Pathological hyperplasia is more serious and requires women to pay attention and seek treatment at a professional hospital as soon as possible.
