What do you do if your newborn baby has swollen breasts or leaks a tiny bit of milk? 👶🍼
In this video, we break down why baby boys and girls sometimes experience breast engorgement and a completely normal phenomenon known as "witch's milk." Caused naturally by maternal hormones, this swelling usually resolves entirely on its own within a few weeks.
⚠️ Crucial Warning for Parents: You should never, under any circumstances, try to squeeze the milk out of a newborn's breasts. Squeezing or manipulating the area can severely damage their delicate breast tissue and introduce dangerous bacterial infections, leading to painful conditions like mastitis (breast infection) or abscesses (pus collections). Learn why observation and patience are the safest choices for your little one!
