Sore Nipples and Breastfeeding: How To Avoid Nipple Pain When Breastfeeding | The Thompson Method 

Have you ever wondered why nipples become painful and damaged when breastfeeding? Want to know how to avoid pain when breastfeeding?

Painful nipple trauma is one of the most common complications experienced by breastfeeding women and in my experience, is THE #1 REASON why women feel forced to give up.

My PhD research found that painful nipple trauma was closely associated with a delay or interruption to the first breastfeed - 

I refer to this time as the 3 Golden Hours.

Interruption to this precious time between a mother and her newborn, in addition to the commonly taught cross-cradle technique, while directing your nipple to your baby's nose, then rapidly trying to 'shove' your baby to your breast, dramatically increases the risk of painful nipple trauma.

The language often described by women who were taught the cross-cradle technique was to, “get the mouth wide open first” then “quickly get as much of the areola as possible” into the baby’s mouth.
It doesn't sound pleasant or gentle does it?

Well, after observing thousands of breastfeeding mothers and their babies, I can assure you.... it isn't!!

If you're worried about experiencing painful nipple trauma or any other breastfeeding complications, you are not alone!

In my online program, you will learn how you can reduce your risk of having to endure grazed, cracked and damaged nipples.

And if you're already breastfeeding, sometimes it may just require some mindful observation and gentle adjustments to relieve the pain and get back to breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding doesn't have to be painful.  Empower yourself during pregnancy to avoid painful nipples.
