Will Breast Feeding My Baby Hurt? New Mother FAQ’s
FAQ: Will it hurt to nurse or breastfeed my baby?
Myth: It may hurt.
Reality: IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HURT! Early newborn tenderness might peak between day 3 and 7.
Toe curling pain, cracks, blisters and bleeding are not normal and are all signs of a problem that needs attention.
Often, these problems can be solved quickly and effectivly by making minor changes such as positioning the baby.
