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.

Getting your baby to latch without pain can be tricky! Their mouths are so little, there's not much room for error.
​The good news is, getting a comfortable latch is about 90% positioning! 

​Watch this video to see exactly how your baby should be aligned on your body, and how you should bring them onto the breast to get a latch that is comfortable!!!

You've been dreaming about the day your baby is born, and holding him in your arms. You've probably also been dreaming about breastfeeding. At the very least you thought breastfeeding would come naturally. Breastfeeding is supposed to be natural, after all, right?

Well, unfortunately, what is natural doesn't always come natural to us. There are many hurdles that can interfere with breastfeeding. Birth interventions, separation after birth, premature delivery, or traumatic birth are just a few circumstances that would cause a baby not to latch at the breast. Sometimes, without any obvious reasons, baby will struggle to come onto the breast too. The BEST thing you can do is seek expert lactation support (which you can find here) and follow the advice in the video below!
