Painful nipples
- If your nipples are cracked, leave few drops of milk to dry on the nipples after the feed.
- Make sure that your baby is lying in a proper position. Maybe the pain was caused by a wrong position of the child.
- If you don’t see any injury on your nipples, but they still hurt, check your baby’s oral cavity. If there are white spots that don’t go away, it’s a fungus. In this case, you both have the “Candida Abicans” fungus, more known as Candida. Nothing dramatic about this since it’s a fungus that can be cured easily. Talk to your pediatrician and use the medicine prescribed by him after you breastfeed. It should heal very fast.
