Understanding breastfeeding challenges is crucial for providing effective support to new parents.
Nipple soreness, cracked or bleeding nipples, and engorgement are common challenges. Inverted nipples and delayed milk production also cause difficulties. Cluster feeding and growth spurts add to the stress. Together, these issues can make the early weeks of breastfeeding overwhelming.
Understanding why these issues happen, how they can impact the breastfeeding journey, and, most importantly, what you can do to help is an essential part of your support. In this episode, we cover practical tips and real talk about when it’s time to call an IBCLC or another breastfeeding expert.
Join us as we discuss ways to help you navigate these early hurdles and support families with confidence and care.
