I am getting pus after breast abscess I and will breastfeeding affect my baby health
hi please do not worry a single episode of a small amount of pus exudation may occur ideally you should have pumped away the first set of milk and then started feeding but please do not get distressed now keep breastfeeding your baby keeping following things in mind after feeding from the affected side use the breast pump to evacuate any residual milk do not worry your body will generate enough milk for the baby keep hot compressing twice a day maintain proper breast hygiene do visit your gynecologist if you develop any fever or rise of local temperature
hello doctor before two weeks I have undergone I and for breast abscess from that day I have stopped feeding my baby on 21st of march doctor checked and said no need of dressing and there is a small lump still present keep warm compress it will go and told me not to feed the baby I am keeping warm compress daily once but no result yesterday the wound completely healed and there was no leakage of milk from the wound so I started feeding my baby in the night I fed my baby on the wounded breast but in the morning I observed swelling again on the breast so I kept hot compress and started pumping then I observed a very thick pus on my nipple just a drop after that I am trying to hand express and pumping but the pus is not coming out now I am very afraid that my gynecologist may again suggest I and in the present scenario it is very tough for me to go hospital every day for dressing carrying a small baby please tell me whether it can be healed by antibiotics can I feed my baby if I feed baby will that pus affect my baby
