How to Manage Pain While Continuing to Breastfeed?
To manage the pain while continuing to breastfeed, try to nurse on the less sore side first, as babies tend to suck more vigorously at the beginning of a feeding. You can also use nipple shields temporarily, though they should be used under guidance to ensure they don't affect your milk supply or the baby's latch. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can also be used after consulting with your healthcare provider.
