A. if you are facing any problems regarding breastfeeding during your lactation period it is always better to take help from your lactation expert who will recommend you various methods for improvement. the phenomena of breastfeeding is covntmpletely related to hormones and the signal sent to the brain with your thoughts so it is very important to stay positively motivated and continue to put efforts.medicines re not of much help.if there is then you can apply cold press locally and take Dolo tablet which is safe during this period.

A. Hello dear parent!! Few babies have latching issues in the starting. It is advisable for you to consult a lactation expert for further assistance. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Good luck and take care.
