Why Breastfeeding Becomes Painful (and what to do about it) {S5E1}
Listen on:
It's Season 5 on Raising Healthy Mothers! Today I'm talking about why breastfeeding can be painful - and why this should be seen as a sign to get help, not something to endure until it gets better.
No, your nipples don't need to toughen up. You don't need to wait for a few weeks and get used to it. You don't need to grit your teeth through the pain.
In the episode I discuss:
Why breastfeeding becomes painful
4 things to look out for to check for a good latch
How to get help if there is pain.
One of my missions as a breastfeeding supporter is to help mums overcome their worries about breastfeeding, mainly hammering in the point about pain not being an inevitable part of breastfeeding! I'm running my super successful FREE online breastfeeding workshop again on Tuesday, 7th September where I'll go into even more detail about the norm of breastfeeding and what to expect. Sign up for the workshop How to Have a Pain-free Breastfeeding Journey...From the Very Beginning and join me at 8pm on Tuesday 7th September.
