Kalindi BhavsarMom of a 8 yr 2 m old boy3 years agoA. Hi mommy
You can expect sore nipples and tender breasts in the first week as your milk comes in and you and your baby learn to breastfeed
The most common reason for soreness is your baby not attaching properly to your breast
With good attachment this will usually settle down
Ask for help from your midwife child and family health nurse or lactation consultant
Apply coconut oil or olive oil twice daily or aloe Vera gel
