Accepted Answer

Nipple shield: Assuming your profile is incorrect and you are truly a breastfeeding woman, milk production should increase by maximizing effective nursing ( and possibly using fenugreek supplements). Babies can latch onto flat nipples much better when mothers use nipple shields.  These devices are generally sold without prescriptions at pharmacies.

Question 2

Breast feeding : The best way produce more milk is for you to eat healthy,  drink plenty of fluids,  have the baby nurse on regular intervals,  baby's suckling stimulates milk production  &amp; in between feeding  pump your breast ,&amp; freeze the milk to use later, keep trying. Best wishis.

Question 4

i'm 24 and i'm freaking out for the past 2 months or so my breasts/nipples have been sore. when i lay down my left nipple gets flat. they itch and burn at times and my nipple is actually kind of purplish. no swelling that i can see. i went to the ob yeste

Accepted Answer

I think this is: a symptom to be investigated. But if your OB/GYN examined you and did not feel a mass, this is reassuring. It could be simple skin dermatitis or eczema or a sensitivity to chemical irritation (soap/detergents) or dry skin. If there is any question, an ultrasound or mammogram may help. There is a worrisome condition called Paget's Disease of the breast that must be excluded. Good wishes:)
