Common Breastfeeding Problem

Delayed Initiation of Breastfeeding

Infrequent or Timed Feedings*

• Use Colostrum Container to collect colostrum
  
   

• If you cannot put your baby to the breast or is still not enough breastmilk, please use double pumping to increase breastmilk production 

*While using breastpump, always try to put your baby to the breast and feed on demand rather than on a schedule.

Supplementing with a Bottle

Poor Latch

• Use Baby cup, SoftCup Feeder to avoid nipple confusion

• Use Nursing Pillow to adjust your baby's latch  

Sore Nipples

• Use lanolin, a natural moisturizer produced by sheep. It promotes moist wound healing
• Use a nipple shield to protect the nipple while it heals

• Use a breastpump to soften the breast before feeding
• Use a few minutes breastpumping to get the breastmilk flowing and then put your baby on the breast
