Breastfeeding problem solver

If you have a breastfeeding problem, get help as soon as possible. The longer you leave it, the more painful it may become, and a simply resolved positioning problem can all too easily develop into an infection that may take antibiotics to clear.

The majority of problems stem from poor positioning, so the first step is simply to change the baby’s position and make sure that he opens his mouth wide as he takes the breast.

Common problems:

Who can help:

  • Your midwife
  • Your GP
  • Your health visitor
  • The postnatal ward of your local hospital
  • A breastfeeding counsellor (the NCT, Breastfeeding Network, and
    La Leche League
    have local contacts)
  • A local breastfeeding support group
