Some common challenges faced during lactation include:
Low Milk Supply: Often due to infrequent breastfeeding, hormonal imbalances, or inadequate nutrition. Mastitis: An infection of the breast tissue that can cause pain, swelling, and fever. Nipple Pain: Usually a result of improper latching, which can lead to sore or cracked nipples. Engorgement: Overfilled breasts can become hard and painful, making it difficult for the infant to latch properly.
