What do you suggest if my nipples hurt really bad when my 1 week old laches on! what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Painful nursing : Breast feeding can be challenging and uncomfortable for the first few weeks after delivery. Infants who latch to the nipple tip (instead of on the entire areola), candida infections of the nipple, and engorgement can all cause pain during nursing. Lactation consultants can be invaluable in making the experience as wonderful as it should be.
