A member asked:
Struggling with breastfeeding due to painful nipple.one week old baby latching only on nipple.is using electric pump as efficient as breast feeding ?or should i need to continue with breast feeding.which is the best option?

If you nipple is painful then you could give a time of rest and use the pump to get the milk after cleaning the nipple. You could still bond with the baby even if you do not put to breast when you feed with the breast milk in the bottle because it has a better nutrition and antibodies for your baby. You should learn to support the baby on your lap so there is not pull and the nipple is totally in.
