EARLY START
Put baby to the breast to nurse as soon as possible
Hold baby skin-to-skin
Avoid pacifiers
SORE NIPPLES
Correct positioning and latch on are very important for preventing sore nipples.
Break suction before taking baby off the breast.
Offer the least sore breast first.
Use only plain water for washing.
Gently apply your own milk, ultra pure modified lanolin, or hydrogel pads to speed healing.
Check with a La Leche League Leader for help.
GROWTH SPURTS
Baby may nurse more often at times to build milk supply.
LATCH ON
Trying other positions may help latch.
