How to resolve nipple pain during breastfeeding

Are you experiencing tenderness and painful nipples, or would you like to try and avoid it occuring in the first place?

What usually causes it:

When your baby is improperly positioned or if your baby has a very strong suck, it can cause sore nipples or even worse, then may actually crack and bleed. For breastfeeding advice see our "lactation video" .

What you need to know about it:

Soreness and tenderness can make you dread the next feeding — and even the next suck — but the situation can improve fairly rapidly, usually as you get the hang of breastfeeding and proper positioning (and as your nipples — and tolerance — toughen up) and with some help from mahu Nipple Cream. Many women also experience cracking or bleeding, which is also temporary and usually responds well to some simple treatments.

What to do about it:

• Make sure your baby is properly positioned and has a proper latch on your areola, not your nipple, that your baby is always facing your breasts, but try varying your nursing position, always try to use both breasts at every feeding, even if it’s not for very long.

• Tension might hinder your letdown. Less milk, unfortunately, means that your baby will have to suck harder to get it, so take a few minutes to relax before you breastfeed. You can also express a few drops of milk to get things going before you even put baby to breast.

• After each feed briefly expose your nipples to the air then apply mahu Nipple Cream. mahu Nipple Cream contains New Zealand Manuka Honey to soothe, soften and moisturise skin, improving cellular regeneration, helping skin recover and it also has natural antiseptic, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Calendula: An antiseptic and astringent that heals and reduces inflammation.

• Only use water or mahu Baby Wash (soap and sulphate free), to cleanse your nipples. Soaps and alcohols will irritate your skin.
