If breast pain during breastfeeding is due to cracked nipples, some recommended tips include:
- Spread a small amount of breast milk over the nipple after each feeding.
- Wash the breast with warm water after each feeding and dry thoroughly.
- Apply olive oil to the nipple using circular massages.
- Use a chamomile or aloe vera infusion on the nipple.
If the discomfort during breastfeeding is caused by a poor latch, it is advisable to change the breastfeeding position.
Cabbage leaves can also be useful in relieving symptoms during breastfeeding, as they help reduce breast pain and inflammation.
