Get an appointment with a lactation consultant.\u00a0 Generally the pain is cause by a bad latch.\u00a0 The baby is probably not latching property, due to positioning, touch tights, etc.\u00a0 A lactation consultant would look at how you breastfeed and teach you how to properly position your baby on the breast.\u00a0 Also, they would check for Tonge tights and recommend any further steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">2. Breastfeed your baby or pump as ofter as possible.\u00a0 10 to 12 times a day, including at night. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">3.  Take care of yourself. Eat enough protein, keep yourself hydrated and get enough sleep (I know this on is hard, but try to sleep when the baby sleeps).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">4.  Massage your breast before feeding or pumping. This help get the breast prepared for nursing or pumping and more milk can be release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">5.  Pump after feedings, and when away from your baby. Pumping after feedings tell your body that it need to produce more milk, and it a few day, your baby should be able to produce more milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">6.  Do skin to skin with your baby.\u00a0 Having your baby close and smelling your baby might help with milk supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low supply means that your body is not producing enough breast milk to meet your baby\u2019s needs.
