Has anyone ever told you that nipple damage or nipple pain is normal? Well– just because it is common, does not make it normal. Nipple damage and nipple pain are both signs that something with baby feeding or milk removal is amiss.This episode discusses nipple damage that occurs as a result of directly feeding your baby from your body, such as:

• Positioning
• Latch
• Tongue movements
• Outside influences

Lo also discusses common remedies for nipple pain and the available research which explains the efficacy of those remedies.Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more Milk Making Minutes episodes!To book a lactation consult with me, e-mail: [email protected]Join The Milk Making Minutes Facebook Group to talk about the structural barriers that make breastfeeding so difficult and work together to chip away at each one.
