Many moms are asking me why so many moms are experiencing sore nipples when breastfeeding is supposed to be such a natural activity for both mom and baby. This is a good question and one that really needs to be addressed!

It is inevitable that you are going to receive a degree of conflicting advice, as individuals have their own way of interpreting studies, techniques or information a mother will give at a particular time regarding a particular problem. However, the scale of variation between one midwife and another regarding breastfeeding techniques or timings, is leading to a lot of confusion and frustration. Often, the combination of all the conflicting advice, does very little to support or teach the new mom anything! So moms struggle to see the point and ultimately give up searching, feeling sad at failing to establish breastfeeding!

Don't be mistaken about breastfeeding and pain, they do not go hand in hand. If you are experiencing pain, there is a problem, and there will be any alternative to what you are currently doing, if you would like to reduce pain but continue giving your baby the benefits of your breast milk! Breastfeeding is not as black and white as some people imply it is. Many of my clients combine a bit of breastfeeding, a bit of pumping, a bit of bottle feeding and enjoy full and rewarding months feeding their baby! The good news is that you can too!
