Some common problems associated with lactation include:
Mastitis: An infection of the breast tissue that can cause pain, swelling, and flu-like symptoms. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and continued breastfeeding or pumping. Engorgement: Overfilled breasts can become painful and swollen. Frequent feeding or pumping can help relieve this condition. Low Milk Supply: This can be managed by increasing the frequency of breastfeeding or pumping and addressing any underlying medical conditions. Nipple Pain: Often caused by improper latching. Correcting the baby's latch and using nipple creams can provide relief.
