PROBLEM NUMBER ONE
Sore and painful areola during breastfeeding
Hi dear... I have a 13 months old baby whom am still breastfeeding. When he was 7months old he had thrush and it was treated but after then I noticed any time am on my period around my nipple becomes red, sore with tiny rashes, little wound, itchy and very painful.
It all goes away after my period. I have gone to see the doctor and was given a drug sometimes ago but it didn't work. I want to know if there is anyone mother in the house that had gone through this while breastfeeding and how did they handling it..
Thank you
PS...am still breast feeding my child.
Chilling for comments :D
ReplyDeleteOver 2 d doctors, no kids yet.
DeleteLemme chill with u. 13months old child, wit sharp teeth, wise enuf to b mischievious yet too young to understand spanking near my boobies??? heck.no.
DeleteWhat are u up to? BORED? Need a gud laugh? If you need a pick me up, click this linkLIFE ENCOUNTERS
Abeg wean that child already. I'm mother of 2 and I think it is absurd to breastfeed a child for more than 6 months. Your child needs real food.
DeleteOne year (12mobths) is enough to breast feed ur child, y extend it further ?
DeleteDoctors in d huz ova to u
DeleteIts well oh, everyone should always try to seek a second and third opinion from other doctor, apologizes to doctors in the house, not all doctors are good. Am speaking from experience. Its well madam your healed
ReplyDeleteMadam, pls don not listen to naysayers... D riteway to breastfeed is 6months exclusive and continue breastfeeding for up to 2years while u have introduce
DeleteUse d cucumber cuz its a coolant and has some lil antiflanmmatory properties
Except ur child is hiv positive or d wound is open or has a sore in d mouth feed wit d affected breast ro reduce d engorgement and d pain..u cn also apply abit of d breastmilk on d wound but ensure u expose d breast to air..I must commend u on doing the right baby friendly..don't listen to all dz people feed ur baby breastmilk till 24months..u are doin her/him a lot of good..
See a doctore too but be wary of drugs u take b4 ur child takes it in as breastmilk..
D plush chique
Thanks so much....poster
DeleteNo idea
ReplyDeleteBut 13 month old baby, please wean the child, and take care of your health.
He must have sucked enough, or you want him to such your brain join the milk.
Are you using it for family planning ? ? ?
Bwahahahahahahaha Suck your brain join...O Lord have mercy, sdk Bvs una mouth bad pass Stella Bae own!
DeleteAunty Poster, seek treatment for your breast and feed ur 13mth old some real food atleast for now..
@ suck ur brain join? HahahahaYou are a real clown o. I can't stop laffin here even my boss is staring at me
DeletePoater 1,try and relax.
ReplyDeletenow dis is wot u Wil do...
Place a layer of cucumber on ur bobbies...
I normally just buy a small head of cucumber and refrigerate and den use
There is nothing that calms boobies more Dan that...
Like u I had severe pains...almost tot it was dat awful Mastitis*shudders*
Change d cucumber like thrice daily....
Thank me later...hehehehhe
Jisike dear and warm hugs.
That pain can like to get to d medula....
Thanks dear...I will try using the cucumber. Its not mastitis its the pain from the sore.
DeleteYou are right about the pain going to the medulla.inshort I just finished going through a phase of that too.
Delete@poster,when do u plan on weaning the child,some people may tel u there is no more nutrient the child is getting from it cos I was told d same too.I made up my mind that I will wean at Eyears and I am succeding but I went through bashings from relatives.hehehehe
The more you prolong the time of weaning,the more your child becomes addicted and the more it would be hard to take him from it when you are ready(TRUTH)
I am a stubborn girl and once I made up my mind,dats it o so my son would be 2yrs next month and I am just starting to wean him.my own full story na for another day
Just do as GW said and don't panic,it happens esp when he sucks for a long time on a breast that milk is not much on
Thanks dear...I will try using the cucumber. Its not mastitis, the pain is from the sore.
Delete@young forever...I was also planning when he is 2yrs old but with this I don't knw if I can do it.
DeleteTGW, do you mean cabbage?, never heard of cucumber o but I know cabbage is used to relieve engorgement.
Delete#Sayonara
2 yrs gini.. Pls wean that child already.. With all the teeth in his mouth you are not afraid to put ur nipple near his mouth.. Nne pls e don do.. Breastfeedng is not a sure way of child spacing if that's what you are working on..
DeleteLol @ indigo...am not even using it for child spacing cos I have the sore during my period and after then dey are all gone until the next month. Poster
DeleteShaynee,thank u sooooo much....
Deletechai .....na Cabbage i meant o.
Póster nne,biko sorry dear.i meant cabbage.bot cucumber......
Hian...Inukwa.where was my mind bikonu??
Biko nne its CABBAGE.
CABBAGE.
Lol.....
Sorry about ur pain but am not a doc, make i shift one corner.
ReplyDeleteOn a related matter, i think am ready to have babies now, i was in a keke going to work when a lady with the cute kids boarded and i was to smiling like one mumu admiring the kids, i couldn't stop looking, i even offered to carry the eldest she was about three. And for the first time in my life, i felt a real need to have kids, God biko send me my booo oooo
I also can't wait.
DeleteAmen. I love babies too. :)
DeleteU better wait till u buy a car and not carry ur babies on keke! This one wey u dey rush! Hian!
DeleteThat's a sign that you should stop breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteWe have treated something like this here before,if I can remember....
ReplyDeletePoster,stop breast feeding your baby biko...
Inukwa 13 months....
Am sure you are a house wife that's why you still have time to be doing breastfeeding...
Oriegwu!!...
I didn't have this experience while i was breastfeeeding my child. Over to the inhouse doctors. I pray you find healing.
ReplyDeleteIt is well,let me sit and read comment !!!!
ReplyDeleteThat baby is already too old for breast milk.Do you want him/her to start sucking your blood before you stop?
DeleteTry to see another specialist and i hope you find a solution to your problem. I stop breastfeeding my babies after 6months, apart from that it helps in bonding, breastfeeding is really not neccessary after 6months.
Madam Roseflower, there is nothing like 'too old for breastmilk' o...
Delete#Sayonara
Breast feeding is very very important after 6mths. Don't teach what u don't know.
DeleteThere is nutritional and immunologic benefits.
Its a delight for the mother and baby.
My baby is 13months and we are still sucking proudly.
Don't mind them. My baby will be one year next week and is still sucking. The boy no gree let go
Delete13 months and she is still breast feeding, I find this very disturbing.... 1 year and 3 months and you are still breastfeeding???? Breast milk still they come out from your ala " Abeg which kind bond you they form with that child??
ReplyDeleteMadam it's one year and 1month. The bond she's forming is none of your fracking business!! Born your own and breastfeed her for 2secs! See me see rubbish ontop person own pikin and breasts! Oriegwu!
DeleteShut up Elsa, if it's not our fracking business ( like ur foolish self spelt it) why did she bring her problem to d blog? y will she even breastfeed more than a year
DeleteThis is what happens when you bring your issue online some people just make the matter their own. If she decides to breastfeed her child for 18months, its her business. If you do not have any tangible advice, then sit the post out
DeleteLoool @Elsa I think say na me nor calculate the 13months well lwkmd
DeleteNigeria Education system, Where are we headed? Lwkmd Afi 1year and 3months Lwkmddd
Elsa don vex. Lmao
DeleteAs in......2sec too much self
DeleteBreastfeeding is till 2 years, my people. If you decide to stop before then your choice your business

ReplyDeleteDon't have anything to say
I know the usual advice is to breastfeed for two year. But with this your complaint I think you should wean your baby, then observe yourself and take it from there. Sorry.
ReplyDelete2 years....on what planet do they recommend that? Give that child his/her life back after 6 months and get yours back.
DeleteThank you..
DeleteNemerem is right jor...anon, read more and educate yourself.
Delete#sayonara
Please stop breastfeeding ur child he's a year plus. U might give d poor child mouth sore with whatever that is wrong with ur breast. Stop n treat ur sef.

DeleteYou are still breastfeeding a 13 months old baby ?
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with that?
DeleteGosh, a lot of people are just dangerously ignorant. It is scary!!!
DeleteYes, you are supposed to breastfeed for 2 years(24months). It is done exclusively for 6months without water and then you can introduce complementary feeds afterwards with the breast milk as well. Don't know how else to educate you. Please google these things before you expose your ignorance here. You don't have to be a mother to know this. There is a huge public awareness on breastfeeding, can't understand why people still ask foolish questions when you can easily look up these things on the net.
********Ladybird*********
Ladybird please don't insult me cause I never insulted anybody, madam poster stop breastfeeding and treat yourself.

Haha school Ke? A year and one month.
DeleteIrene school ke, day care? I can't leave must 13months old baby out of my sight except am working.
ReplyDeleteYour name says it all.You ain't married yet.
DeleteCareer woman take kids to creche from 3months. Ask around
At a year and 3 months my kids start school.. And I resume my business.. So don't say that until u get there..
DeleteWhich is why molestation is sooooooo high in Nigeria. Just leaving your child any and everywhere
DeleteStop breast feeding ur child if ur nipple is sore n wounded. Its not healthy. At 13months ur baby's mouth is already so strong that if he doesn't suck gently he will injure u coupled with the fact that the breast becomes tender n painful during menstrual period. U must b undergoing a lot of pain. My advice to u is to stop breastfeeding ur baby n u will b fine. I started feeling so much pain wenever my baby sucks when he was 7 months. In fact I cried sometimes cos the pain was extreme, I couldn't bear it any longer so I had to stop breastfeeding him cos I already did 6months exclusive of breast milk alone for him and lucky for me he moved on immediately without even demanding for it for a day. Then I got myself back.
ReplyDeleteMine was 18months.Motherhood rocks joor.
ReplyDeleteGod will see you through. I encountered something like that but it stopped.
ReplyDeleteY'all saying 13months is too much for breastfeed don't kn wat u r saying, normally a child is suppose to nurse for 2yrs xcept d mother is advised odawise. Ur parents breastfed U for ova a year n it took deliverance to wean u Off it. Biko leave d baby to enjoy abi she dey sell d milk?
ReplyDeletethrush affects you only when ur immunity is compromised. please take yourself and your baby to the hospital for a thorough medical investigation.
ReplyDeleteplease give the bobbies a break, inukwa 13 months.
ReplyDeleteI suggest u stop breastfeeding the "big boy"... And seek medical attension. Maka ndu gi. Besides, ur big boy's mates are in creches evrywhere.
ReplyDeletebf is good up to 2years bt haba ur nipples are sore so biko stop bf. ur baby will thrive fine
ReplyDeleteCute miss ess
ReplyDeletenne biko stop breastfeeding asap and get your self treated.had almost similar experience.couldn't breastfeed my baby for more than 3months.had to stop thou it was diffult for me but l had to make a wise decision and save myself and the baby.hmmm.l cried the day l stopped breastfeeding her;my baby cried a heartrenching cry and l immediately turn to GOD in prayer to give my baby divine wisdom, and growth.hmm.story for another day.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear...I wil do just dat.. So sorry...Hope ur baby is fine and what did u take for it?
DeleteThe sight of a childing walking with 4teeth, 2up 2down (most times) sucking breast just gives me goose pimples, cos most times the kids are so mischievous at that age, playing with the breast and all...Madam stop breastfeeding that adult-child,haba!
ReplyDeleteMadam, its tym 2 stop breastfeeding but its your decision sha.

nne please stop the breastfeeding ASAP and get yourself treated biko o
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone screaming 13months kea, pls stop. 13month is 1year ,1month and not 3month and every mom has the right to decide on how long to feed their baby, if you don't hv advice just keep moving and stop saying what you don't know.
ReplyDelete13months is not too old for breastmilk @ Poster, but as you are in pain/the rashes, I'll advise you stop breastfeeding and treat yourself properly. Personally, I'm going to breastfeed for 15 months and I'm almost there.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should do what they feel is best for their child (ren).

After doing a a few tests am told I have fibroid and that I have premature ovarian failure. Pls I want to hear testimonies of anyone who took in with this diagnosis. Pls what can I do?
ReplyDeleteMurna, really sorry to hear. Are you married? Can you freeze your eggs? Do ivf?
DeletePpl there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding a 13mth old!! I did till 14mths, though my baby started solids at 5-6mths as well. Career women do so as well! Yet it was work! I would be exhausted from pumping at night! But my baby got my antibodies and was super healthy. As a doc, I dislike folks trying to force their experience on any mother, so just let her be.
Poster it's the thrush, you need to get it treated. Topical nystatin or miconazole (lotrimin, monistat) apply on it, wash before breastfeeding, make sure the baby is treated as well. No need to stop breast feeding. Make sure you are changing your nursing pads often! Don't let your nursing bra get damp! Wash and sterilize them! Should clear up in 3-5 days with treatment.
I just stopped breastfeeding my baby since yesterday and the pain am feeling there now no be here o. Madam poster Abeg try stop your baby breast now make you know the one wey dey do you inugo. BTW my princess is 10 months and I struggled to stop the breastfeeding as I was just having pity on her cos she love breast milk no be small. Lol
ReplyDeleteAfter doing a a few tests am told I have fibroid and that I have premature ovarian failure. Pls I want to hear testimonies of anyone who took in with this diagnosis. Pls what can I do?

ReplyDeleteWOW they we'rent lying when they say black women are the least to breastfeed!
ReplyDeleteYou guys need to be more educated!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with her breast feeding HER child at 13 months! not even 18 months!
And then you have some saying the child should be in school....maybe you should worry about your own child being in school.
school at just 1 yeras of age...hmmm okay.
you go and take your 3 month old child to "school" in Nigeria, that has the hightest rate of child molestation and paedophilia.
I breastfed for almost three yrs. I was still breastfeeding while pregnant sef.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how people just come here and vomit ignorance......there is absolutely nothing wrong in breast feeding till about 2 years....you can however start giving food to the child at 6 months cos that is when the digestive system becomes mature enough to digest solids....since you however have the problem with your breast you can weane your child and observe the symptoms better and avoid reinfection to yourself and your baby....
ReplyDelete13 months??????!!!!!!!…SHUU!!!!!!!..HABA!!!! If you must breastfeed leave small for DH nah!
ReplyDeletePhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. As for me, after singing happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you my darling, happy birthday to you, breastfeeding ENDS!!!
ReplyDeleteDoc A, thank you. That means medically the only option is ivf.
