It is a common problem during breastfeeding that happens because of a clogged milk duct. Continue breast feeding your child even on the painful side or you can express the milk on the painful side. This will aid draining of the clogged duct. Watch for fever or redness over painful region. Homoeopathic medicines will be safe and effective in such cases.

It might be cracked nipple or wrong latch. Apply coconut oil or Lanolin cream for cracked nipple. And put some cold compression to reduce pain. Also see if your baby needs to correct latching. If these changes didn’t help you or pain worsens then you might need to see your gynecologist or lactation specialist in your area
