Nipple vasospasm is a narrowing of blood vessels in the nipple. It can be triggered by a baby breastfeeding in a shallow latch and can cause burning, stabbing or itching pain in the nipples after a breastfeed.
Beside above, is it normal for my breast to sting after breastfeeding?
Engorgement can lead to sore, painful breasts or a breast infection. So it’s best to try to avoid it. The longer you wait to breastfeed or pump, the more uncomfortable and engorged your breasts may get. If you can’t feed your baby right away, use warm compresses and try to pump or manually express your milk.
- Wear a supportive bra that holds your breasts in place.
- Use ice packs and over-the-counter pain (OTC) medications to help with pain and inflammation.
- Hand express milk to ease engorgement. Do this sparingly so you don’t continue to stimulate production.
