What Challenges Might Arise During Breastfeeding Cessation?
Several challenges can arise during breastfeeding cessation including: - Emotional: Both mother and baby may experience emotional distress. Nursing provides comfort and bonding, and stopping can be an emotional adjustment. - Physical: Mothers may experience engorgement, mastitis, or blocked ducts. Babies may have difficulty adjusting to new feeding routines. - Nutritional: Ensuring the baby receives adequate nutrition from other sources is crucial. Nurses can play a key role in providing support, education, and resources to address these challenges.
