NIPPLE CARE DURING BREASTFEEDING

Problems such as clefts and cracks in the nipple are mostly caused by incorrect breastfeeding.

Nipple problems like cracks and fissures are most often caused by incorrect breastfeeding. Properly positioning your baby on the lap, ensuring they are breastfed, and ensuring they latch on to the surrounding brown area, minimizes nipple damage. To help your baby get used to breastfeeding, frequent, short-term breastfeeding is essential at first.
