After giving birth, many women start to worry about whether their milk is sufficient. In addition to whether the milk is sufficient, women also encounter many other problems during breastfeeding, such as body heat during feeding, which makes them very worried. So, is it normal for women to experience body heat during postpartum breastfeeding?
It is normal for women to experience breast fever after giving birth, which can be referred to as lactation fever. This situation will last for one or two days, after which the female's body temperature will return to normal. Because lactation fever is a normal physiological phenomenon, women don't have to worry and can rest assured to let their babies breastfeed. Moreover, women should encourage their babies to breastfeed more, which can prevent milk accumulation and prevent diseases such as mastitis.
However, if women experience prolonged lactation fever and have adverse symptoms, it is best to stop breastfeeding the baby and immediately go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is caused by a fever or cold leading to an increase in body temperature. If a woman has a fever or cold after giving birth, she should seek timely treatment, drink plenty of water, and take medication under the guidance of a doctor if necessary to regulate her body.
After confirming the recovery of the body, women can continue breastfeeding their babies to avoid affecting their physical health. During lactation, women should pay attention to their breast hygiene. Before and after breastfeeding, they should clean their breasts with clean water and avoid excessive cleaning with shower gel, soap, etc. to avoid damaging breast health.
