What Are Milk Blebs and How To Treat Them?

Struggling with milk blebs? 😖 These small white spots on your nipple can be painful, but don’t worry, there are ways to deal with them and get back to feeling comfortable.

Milk blebs (or milk blisters) often resemble a tiny pimple and can be white, yellow, clear, or flesh tones.

The skin surrounding the bleb or blister might appear red or swollen and cause mild discomfort or pain.

These are caused by a thin layer of skin that has blocked one of the openings (pores) on your nipple, where milk normal flows out freely.

This then causes milk to build up in that area and may cause swelling.

Why?

• Improper latching during breastfeeding
• Poor fitting flanges or improper usage of breast pump
• Overproduction of milk
• Tight clothing or pressure on breasts

 How?

• Warm compress or warm bath
• Gentle exfoliation with a washcloth
• Try different positions for latching
• Frequent pumping with a suitable breast pump
