As a lactation expert I am sometimes baffled by the breastfeeding myths out there! In my online community I hear about the advice and suggestions given to breastfeeding moms, and *boom* my mind is blown. Sometimes the myths are just laughable, other times the myths seem helpful, but could actually be really damaging to breastfeeding.
With all of the information online, it can be hard to differentiate between myth and reality. Hopefully this list of the Top Ten Breastfeeding Myths will help you I have compiled this list to bring truth to some of the myths I hear most commonly from the moms in my community.

Have you ever heard that breastfeeding shouldn't hurt?
Well, it shouldn't! It should be comfortable, but it isn't always at first for everyone. Almost every breastfeeding mom reports nipple pain in the beginning of breastfeeding. That being said, just because it is common DOES NOT mean it is normal!!! Breastfeeding is not meant to hurt. Pain is a sign that something isn't right, and almost always, that something is baby's positioning is off.
