Faciliter l'allaitement

Voilà quinze ans que la Maternité des HUG possède le label Hôpital ami des bébés décerné par l’UNICEF et l’OMS. Ce label a permis à quelque 50’000 bébés de bénéficier des bienfaits de l’allaitement maternel.

Abcès du sein

L'abcès mammaire est une collection de pus qui se crée dans le sein. Il ce caractérise par une douleur intense souvent pulsatiles, de la fièvre, une chaleur, un placard rouge et une tension mammaire.

Si vous constatez l'un de ces symptômes, consultez rapidement votre gynécologue.

Même si l’abcès du sein se manifeste généralement au cours de l’allaitement, il peut subvenir hors de l’allaitement.

Return to work

I have to return to work, what should I do about breastfeeding?

Returning to work depends on your contract and your employer. Depending on your wishes or your options, you can continue breastfeeding, for example the morning and evening milk can be stored. You can express your milk and keep it in the fridge to provide meals for your baby during the day. The alternative is weaning, either by spacing feedings to reduce milk secretion, or by using appropriate drugs. Prepare for your return to work by contacting a breastfeeding professional.
