1. Even at night, wear a supportive bra. Make sure it’s comfortable and not too tight. Nursing bras make feeding a task easier.

2. Avoid tight clothing and underwire bras, which can clog milk ducts and raise the risk of infection in the breasts.

3. Nursing pads should be changed if they become damp, dirty, or sullied.

4.Shower at least once a day to stay away from skin infections. On the nipples, only use clear water. Avoid using soaps as it strips off the natural lubricant created by the glands surrounding your nipples, causing them to dry out and crack.

5. Consult a lactation consultant or discuss with your doctor if you feel that the pain is not going away and it is unnatural. After all, they say breastfeeding is a wonderful thing.
