🍼 CAN I POKE A MILK BLEB TO CLEAR IT?
❌ NO! Please don’t poke, prick, or squeeze a milk bleb with a needle.
A milk bleb (milk blister) is a small white or yellow spot on the ni**le that may be associated with inflammation or narrowing of a milk duct opening.
⚠️ Why shouldn’t you poke it yourself?
Poking a milk bleb can cause:
🔸 Skin injury and bleeding
🔸 Infection
🔸 More inflammation and swelling
🔸 Increased ni**le pain and discomfort
🌸 What should you do instead?
🤍 Apply a cold compress to help relieve pain and swelling.
🤱 Continue breastfeeding or pumping as comfortably tolerated.
🚫 Avoid squeezing, scraping, or trying to remove the white spot yourself.
👩🏻⚕️ Seek help from a lactation-informed healthcare professional if the bleb is persistent or painful.
🚨 Important: If you experience fever, flu-like symptoms, worsening breast pain, redness, or swelling, seek medical assessment promptly.
