Blisters. Cracks. Bleeding. Pain. Not what any of us look forward to or expect when we imagine first holding our sweet baby to the breast, but for many who are learning to breastfeed, this temporary state of being can be very challenging. Make sure you have a good latch, reach out for help sooner than later from your midwife, a lactation consultant or another experienced mother, and remember there are tools to help! It won’t always be like this. Nipple Salve-ation can be applied between feedings to ease the discomfort and promote healing. Other tips include air-drying nipples after feeding, checking the position and latch of the baby, and taking some deep, relaxing breaths before attempting to nurse.
