Hi, can someone suggest a good lactation consultant please? My baby is 3 weeks old and I have been breastfeeding and expressing breast milk in her first two weeks because of my cracked nipple. For the last one week I have been only breast feeding since my nipple cracks have been healed mostly. But whenever I do breast feeding, I'm having this pain during and after feeding as well. We consulted with an lactation expert and changed the feeding position to laid back position, kangaroo position, side lying position which suits her oral palette. Now the pain keeps increasing when I do breast feeding. I also use the Lansinoh lanolin nipple cream after every feeding to heal my nipple.

Hello dear parent! Try warm compress in between feeds. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Keep your doctor posted about any changes or developments. Good luck and take care.
