Breast Feeding

Breast feeding?

My wife has pains in one breast while breast feeding.

Well, if the spot is warm and red, she could have mastitus. It's an infection of the milk ducts and it occurs when the baby doesn't empty the breast all the way. I would suggest that after the baby feeds on that side, pump the rest of the milk out. If you don't have a breast pump, you can hand express the milk. Start at the top where the breast meets the chest wall and squeeze gently as if kneading bread. Rotate your hand around the breast and gradually move down towards the nipple. At this point you can stay in the nipple, areola area. Squeeze firmly, but gently where the areola meets the skin and sort of roll your fingers towards your nipplle. Repeat this until there isn't any milk coming out. (or it's just a bit) Don't give up on the theory that the baby is latching on wrong. Sometimes the mother has a hard time getting comfortable with the baby on her non dominate side. Keep trying. If the nipple itself hurts while the baby is latched on, use your pinky finger to break the seal of the baby's lips on your breast and gently pull it out. Try again. Make sure your nipple is in the center of the baby's mouth and that it took most of your areola into it's mouth. Also make sure that the baby's ear, shoulder and hip are in a straight line. If the baby's head is turned, it may be sucking unevenly. use pillows, blankets anything you can to make it more comfy. Try different chairs, even the floor. It may also work well if you lay on your side with the breast closest to the matress as the one you're nursing from. It's easier to get the baby aligned that way!! It also gives your arms and back a break! Good luck!!! Dont' give up yet...

Is there a certain way to sleep when breast feeding?

This is my first experiance breast feeding and the weight of my breasts is making it difficult to find a cofortable position. Some positons are even causing headaches. My son is only a week old so I'm just starting to produce more milk, but if we keep this up he will be just as unhappy as I am.

The weight of your breasts should decrease over time. If your milk is just coming in, You Are now in the most uncomfortable time of your breastfeeding experience. It won't last long.

I used to sleep in a sports bra because I found it supportive, yet comfortable. It was pretty easy to just lift it up when I needed to nurse the baby. Headaches can be caused by pressure on your upper back, so try supporting yourself and your baby with pillows if you are nursing sitting up.
