Most of the time, you do not have to follow any special procedures while breastfeeding your baby. When your breasts are full of milk, they may become engorged, and you will feel tenderness and tingling. In some cases, your breasts may leak milk. This is perfectly normal, so the best advice we can offer is to try to remain as comfortable as possible. To ensure continued healthy breastfeeding and the health of your child, practice good hygiene. Clean your nipples and breasts when showering or bathing and washing your hands before touching your breasts during breastfeeding. This may surprise you but avoid using soap as this could cause the skin to dry out and it removes the natural oils that surround your nipples, keeping the area moisturized. Also, consider wearing a nursing bra or a bra that does not fit too tightly. Choose a fiber that allows your skin to breath, like cotton. Nursing your child every two to three hours can ensure your breasts don't become too engorged and prevents sore nipples, mastitis, and clogged milk ducts. If you are using breast pads to soak up leaking milk, change them when they are wet to prevent these symptoms. If you feel your nipples are dry, try moisturizing them with breast milk and allowing them to air dry.
