What Are the Common Breastfeeding Challenges?

Breastfeeding can come with its set of challenges, such as:
1. Sore Nipples: This can be due to an improper latch. Using nipple creams and ensuring a good latch can help.
2. Engorgement: This happens when the breasts are too full of milk. Frequent feeding or expressing milk can alleviate discomfort.
3. Mastitis: An infection in the breast tissue that can cause pain and flu-like symptoms. It requires medical treatment.
4. Low Milk Supply: This can be addressed by feeding more frequently, ensuring a good latch, and possibly consulting a lactation specialist.
5. Tongue Tie: A condition where the baby’s tongue movement is restricted, making breastfeeding difficult. This may require a minor surgical procedure.
