Is breastfeeding painful?

At first, breastfeeding might hurt a bit. But here's something important to know: when it hurts, it means something isn't quite right. Pain is a sign to check your baby’s latch. You might be surprised by how much pain can be relieved just by adjusting your latch!

If your nipples are sore, try changing positions and allow your nipples to dry fully after feeding. You can also rub lanolin or a little of your breast milk on your nipples to help them heal.
