A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please try to keep the baby in comfortable position so that the baby can latch to the breasts properly. Also Masaage your breasts gently before feeding the baby. Also you can give semi solid food items once the baby is six months old. Then you can reduce the breast feeding for the baby. Thanks and take care
