Patient's question:
What is the reason for the child's nipple pain when breastfeeding? I haven't learned about it before and would like to understand it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: Nipple pain during breastfeeding is a common phenomenon for first-time mothers, and severe cases can lead to cracked nipples, which are often related to incorrect feeding techniques. It is recommended to let the baby suck the nipple and most of the areola into their mouth during breastfeeding to prevent cracked nipples. Breastfeeding is highly recommended, and it is best to avoid using bottles as much as possible. There should be no restrictions on the time or frequency of breastfeeding, as the reflex stimulation from sucking will also lead to increased milk production.
