Incorrect latch: You should make sure the baby is skin to skin with you while breastfeeding and she is laying across your chest. Open her mouth wide by tickling her upper lip, then place her mouth around the outside of your areola, not on your nipple. The first 60 seconds may sting but once the baby begins gulping you should feel more comfortable. If you don't drink enough water you won't produce enough milk!
