What should I do if the nipple turns white after feeding?

1 correct milk-containing If you have chapped nipples or white blisters, the chances of your baby's nipples turning white and hard after breastfeeding will be much greater. So solve the nipple pain caused by other problems first. If the baby's chest is incorrect, it should be corrected in time. Raynaud's syndrome rarely occurs if the nipple no longer hurts.

2 Keeping the nipple warm Raynaud's syndrome basically appears after the baby leaves with milk. When the baby is nursing, the nipple is held by the baby. When the nipple is released, it will turn white and harden due to the temperature difference between the mouth and the outside air. After a period of time, the blood vessels in the nipple area relax and the nipple returns to normal color, so mothers will only feel pain after feeding. If you cover your nipple slightly with your hand immediately after feeding, Raynaud's syndrome will hardly appear when the temperature difference decreases.

3 avoid friction pain. Mothers with Raynaud's syndrome must know that it is very uncomfortable if hard nipples rub clothes. So we need to take measures to avoid this kind of friction. My suggestion is that everyone should put on suitable nursing underwear (preferably cotton breathable) immediately after feeding, and it is not recommended to use the nipple cover on the market, which is neither breathable nor effective.

4 Daily care is not excessive. We usually don't have to clean nipples all the time. It is enough to wash with water when taking a bath. Some bath lotions and soaps are not recommended. The oil secreted by our own skin has a good protective effect on nipples. If we use some bath products, we will wash them off, but it is easy to cause pain.
