How to Breastfeed

Avoid Nipple Soreness or Pain

If your baby is latching on and sucking correctly, you should not feel any painful pressure on your nipple. If Baby seems to be sucking incorrectly or you feel pain as he nurses, you will need to remove the baby from your breast and start over again.

Break the suction by putting your finger in the side of Baby's mouth and either pressing on your breast or gently pulling on Baby's cheek.
