Breast Milk Clinic

Breast Milk Clinic

 

The Breast Milk Clinic at Phyathai Hospital is dedicated to supporting breastfeeding, recognizing its vital role in providing essential nutrients and immunity for babies. Breastfed children tend to be healthier, smarter, and develop more appropriately. However, new mothers often face challenges such as insufficient milk supply, clogged milk ducts, mastitis, and nipple pain. 

Our Breastfeeding Clinic offers comprehensive services to address these issues, guided by a team of experienced doctors, nurses, and lactation consultants. We provide support and solutions, including proper latching techniques, pain relief massages, and breast ultrasound for pain reduction, to help mothers breastfeed confidently and comfortably.

Common Breastfeeding Issues & Recommendations:

1. Nipple Pain or Cracks: Often caused by improper breastfeeding positions or shallow latching.

- Recommendation: Ensure correct positioning for deep latching and quick attachment of the baby to the breast.

2. Breast Engorgement: Occurs when milk production exceeds the rate at which it is expelled.

- Recommendation: Apply warm compresses, massage the breast, and encourage frequent and correct breastfeeding. Use a breast pump if needed.

3. Mastitis: A painful condition caused by milk stasis and infection.

- Recommendation: Drain the milk frequently, start breastfeeding on the affected side, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
