A. see that the baby is not just sucking nipples but the whole areola part is inside the lips of baby for correct latching that will avoid further trauma it is always better to take help from your lactation expert who will recommend you various methods for improvement. It is completely related to hormones and the signal sent to the brain so it is very important to stay positively motivated.medicines are not of much help.if there is pain you can apply cold press locally and take Dolo tablet which is safe.

A. Hello dear parent! Sit in a comfortable position while breastfeeding your baby. The more your baby suckles your breastmilk directly the better milk supply. Consult a lactation expert. Continue breastfeeding. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil.
