Engorgement: watch your breasts

Breastfeeding is magic! It's complicity, happiness, exchange... all that, all that. But it can also be complicated if you are not careful.


  • The main threat?
  • Engorgement!
  • It's when your breasts produce too much milk, when feedings are suddenly more spaced out, or when you've been separated from your baby for too long.
  • How do you prevent it?
  • By simply letting the milk flow!
  • Breastfeed your baby frequently, from birth.
  • If your baby doesn't drink, use a breast pump or massage your breasts as soon as they are a little tense.
  • And above all, if you have any doubts, don't hesitate to consult a health professional.

What have you taken while pregnant for a cold/Congestion? My boyfriend had a cold from Friday till Tuesday so I was taking care of him and through that time I caught what he had. But he doesn’t know I’m pregnant yet and is trying to give me what I was giving him( day & nightquil, vitamin C pills, Benadryl).
