Paula J. Norcott, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, provides essential breastfeeding tips for new mothers, emphasizing that pain during breastfeeding is not to be endured. Many mothers mistakenly assume that sore nipples are normal, but Norcott advocates for seeking help early to make necessary adjustments. By sharing a case where a simple fitting resolved a mother's pain and boosted her supply, Norcott highlights the importance of consulting a lactation expert, especially within the early days of breastfeeding, to alleviate frustrations and improve the experience.
So many parents tough it out, thinking that sore, cracked nipples are just part of the process. But pain is usually a sign that something needs adjusting.
When we did a flange fitting, we realized she had been using a size way too big, causing pain and poor output.
A quick consult in the first few days can prevent weeks of frustration. Your best bet is to find a local international board-certified lactation consultant.
