Question

The baby has been feeling unwell recently and is unable to breastfeed. What should I do?

Answer

The baby has been feeling unwell, which has resulted in the inability to breastfeed. Initially, there was still some milk expressed, but subsequently, the amount of milk expressed has decreased, with a hard lump appearing on the right breast. Even after cold compresses, the amount of expressed milk remains minimal. This may be due to a decrease in milk production. It is recommended to take measures to stimulate milk production, such as allowing the baby to suckle at the nipple and empty the breasts to promote milk production. This answers the question of what to do when a baby feels unwell and cannot breastfeed. We hope that parents can help the baby recover quickly.
