hi mom's..my baby is 15days old. recently he learned to latch and Im offering him enough milk but my problem is that nipples are paining during breast feeding. and since my baby is low weight around 2kg only pediatrist advised only mother's milk but not formula to gain baby's weight.
my problem is, is there any remedy to reduce sore or cracked nipples.. anybody faced this problem..how lomg this pain will continue..

Please visit a Lactation specialist to help correct the latch. Use of nipple shield is not advisable. Once baby gets habituated to it you will have difficulty latching baby without shield. It needs to be sterilised and also replaced every few weeks. Over and above that since the latch is not direct over a long time the Stimulation will be less and the milk flow will reduce in the long run.

you can apply nipple shield and. then feed the baby... you can get it in pegion... sterilize it after each use... or wash properly
