How to get rid of white bleb/blister on nipple ?

Hi Mummies, I am breastfeeding my 27 days old baby and today I noticed that there is a white bleb/blister on my nipple. I read about it and it mentions that this can happen due to a blocked milk duct. It is a little bit painful when the baby latches but not very painful. Attaching the photo Any mum who experienced this? Can please share how to get rid of this ? Thanks in advance 🙏 #firsttimemom

How to get rid of white bleb/blister on nipple ?

This is common! Just leave it alone. It will heal on its own after a few days :) this usually happens when the latch is not good. Don’t try to burst it else it might be prone to infection.

Breastfeeding supplements

Hi mamas! Pls recommend me some breastfeeding supplements. I know many of you consume prenatal ones but I don’t want to travel all the way to my gynae just to get them. Would prefer brands that I can get over the counter like Watsons/ guardian or unity.

legendairy milk

Hi FTM, I am planning to stop breast milk after 1 month. Most people said need minimum 6 months. But I feel so depress to pump every 3 hours and feeling so tired . I cant have enough sleep. Anyone experiencing this kind of feeling? After giving birth I keep crying as well literally everyday. I feel so overwhelmed, sad, and dont know how to take care my baby after my Confinement end.#advicepls #firsttimemom #FTM

you have to take it slow my dear, you cant rush being a mum. if there isnt enough milk, turn to formula milk, if you dont wish to, dont force yourself, but you will get engorgement, if u don't pump it out. Just rmb you are the best!

Lump inside nipple

I’m currently breastfeeding and abt a month ago i realized there is a lump inside the area between nipple and areola. It feels pain when breastfeed or pumping. Anybody has similar experience before?

you probably got a clog duct. Just massage slowly will help to clear ....

Electric breast pump recommendation

Im a first time mom-to-be and even after reading review etc im still clueless which breast pump to get. Can mommies recommend a good electric breast pump? 1. Normal electric breast pump 2. Wearable (cup) electric breast pump for outdoor/office - preferably the one that is less noise Ive heard about spectra, baby express, imani, real bubee but still not sure which is the best as all have mixed reviews too #firsttimemom #PleaseAdvice

TMC Pharmacy Flanges

Does TMC pharmacy / shop sell spectra flanges? Do I have to buy a few different sized flanges to bring to hospital? But that’s gonna be wasteful if I buy the ones that don’t fit

No the lactation consultant will come and visit you after delivery and teach you how to lactate, latch and pump. Make your request known that you’d like to know your nipple size and the right flange size to get. They will advise you accordingly for free

Hi mummies, Would you move to a role for better development in terms of covering a wider scope of job nature with a slight pay cut, slighter lesser leaves by 3 days, however the company have more flexibility and encouraged work life balance. Or would you stay in a job just because you are comfortable, however working 30min more, but job is not fulfilling and mundane. And work life balance is not definite as its numbers driven? Please advise. Thank you.

Wean breastfeeding

My girl is turning 2 soon and I intend to wean her by the end of this month. She is very attached to me and she only wants to latch directly. She refused fm and bottles. Is there any ways to let her take a bottle?

practise and let her get used to it. you are always available so that’s why she only wants you
