Breastfeeding
Tips for new moms
Breastfeeding should not hurt!
- If your breasts feel overly full, breastfeed more often.
- Sore nipples are usually caused by putting the baby to your breast incorrectly.
- Call a breastfeeding specialist if you feel pain when you breastfeed.
Asking for help is normal
- Learning to breastfeed takes time for both you and your baby. Many moms need help learning to breastfeed their babies.
- Call a breastfeeding specialist with questions about breastfeeding. If you wait too long to get the help you need, it may be harder to breastfeed.
