Common breastfeeding problems
More practical advice
Problems with sensitive and dry nipples may be a result of incorrect
positioning of your baby at the breast. Ask your midwife or health visitor
for help in checking this.
When washing the breast area do not apply soap to nipples. Dry thoroughly
but gently.
Make sure you change your breast pads frequently.
AVENT Ultra Comfort Disposable
Breast Pads
have a unique layered construction for maximum absorbency, comfort and
dryness.
AVENT Washable Breast Pads
are made of 100% cotton with an attractive
lacy outer layer and are machine washable and dryable.
AVENT ISIS Breast Shells
.The ultrasoft ventilated shells are worn inside
the bra.They allow air to circulate, prevent clothes from chafing nipples and
promote healing.
If your nipples become unbearably sore or cracked
AVENT Nipple Protectors
can allow you to go on breastfeeding your baby whilst you address the cause of
the problem.They are made of odourless, taste-free, ultra-thin silicone and are
butterfly shaped.This enables your baby to still feel and smell your skin and
continue to stimulate your milk supply, and therefore return to the breast easily
once your nipples are healed (Nipple protectors should be used with Health
Professional advice).
If you suddenly get sore, pink or itchy nipples and perhaps shooting pains deep
in the breast between or during feeds you or your baby may have thrush.This
is quite common and can be treated by your doctor.
