Painful nipple while breastfeeding
Hi
My son is 4months old now. I was comfortably breastfeeding exclusively. Since a week, i started to have pain im my left nipple while breastfeeding. This pain continued even after feeding also.
Baby usually spits 2 to 3 drops of milk immediately i take the nipple out. Today in that milk i noticed blood spots. Am worried and the nipple is paining very badly.
Is this latching issue only ? Why did this start all of a sudden. Can you please suggest anything for pain relief?
Thank you in advance.
