Description

Becoming a mother is a special time, and the feeling of love can be overwhelming. During this precious period, it’s easy to forget that it’s just as important to take care of yourself as it is your baby. Challenges such as sore, cracked nipples are very common among mothers with a newborn, and you may need some extra help, especially when trying to establish breastfeeding. We know that you want nothing but the best for your baby and that is why multi-Mam was developed to help new mothers feel comfortable by soothing post-birth discomfort so you can focus on motherhood and this special time with your baby.

Breastfeeding shouldn’t be painful

80-95% of breastfeeding mothers experience some degree of nipple soreness or discomfort in the early stages of breastfeeding.*

Although breastfeeding pain due to cracked and sore nipples is common, it isn’t something you should accept as normal. Even short bouts of breastfeeding pain can cause damage to the nipples and harm your milk supply. The pain from sore and cracked nipples may even make you want to give up on nursing altogether. Before you decide to go that route, you should know that there is help available for sore nipples.

What causes sore nipples?

When a baby is newborn, they typically want to nurse often, and your nipples may become sore and cracked simply because they aren’t used to the sucking. Another common cause of breastfeeding pain is that the baby has a poor or shallow latch. When the baby has a good latch, the mouth opens wide around your breast and the nipple is far back in the baby’s mouth. It may surprise you to know that babies don’t instinctively know how to latch on properly, it’s something you and your baby have to practice together, and it may take some time before you both get the hang of it.

What are the symptoms of sore nipples?

Nipple pain is a classic symptom of a poor latch, but you may also notice that your nipples are misshapen, cracked or sore after breastfeeding. Another sign of a poor latch is that the baby is biting the nipple, fussing, rooting and making a clicking noise while nursing. Once your baby masters the art of the good latch, your nipple discomforts will probably become a thing of the past. For quick relief from pain, swelling and sensitivity, apply Multi-Mam Nipple Compresses onto your nipples right after feeding your baby. The compresses are impregnated with a plant-derived gel purified from Aloe Barbadensis leaf extract and provides a suitable environment for the gel to condition and moisturise the skin.
