Pain during breastfeeding is a common issue, but it’s usually a sign that something is wrong. Here are steps to address it:
- Check the Latch: A poor latch is the most common cause of breastfeeding pain. Ensure that the baby is latched on correctly. - Change Positions: Sometimes, switching to a different breastfeeding position can alleviate discomfort. - Use Nipple Creams: Lanolin-based creams can help soothe sore nipples. - Consult a Lactation Consultant: If pain persists, consult a lactation consultant for personalized advice.
