Sore nipples are relatively common for mothers that are breastfeeding for the first time. Nipples soreness can be caused by many factors such as poor positioning, shallow latch, tongue or lip tie, or breast pump trauma. Painful breasts can be caused by engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis, or yeast infections. I have extensive experience in all of these areas and more. At Tender Lactation Care, I provide lactation consulting to help mommies breastfeed their babies successfully. As a registered nurse and registered lactation consultant with more than 32 years of experience, I strive to meet each client's individual needs. Contact me today at Tender Lactation Care if you are experiencing sore nipples or painful breasts. 

Tongue tie and lip ties are  common reasons for nipple soreness. There is immediate relief available so that you can continue to breastfeed. If your nipple looks flattened after nursing or has abrasions, it is possible that your baby is tongue tied.  Call me at Tender Lactation Care and let me help you improve your baby's latch and refer you to a pediatric dentist if tongue or lip tie revision is necessary. Don't wait until you are ready to quit!  The sooner you call, the sooner we can solve the problems.  Contact your breastfeeding nurse today at Tender Lactation Care, and I will help you through the journey of breastfeeding your baby. 

Sometimes painful nipples are caused by yeast infections. Moms who have had C-sections or are GBS positive can be more susceptible because they have had antibiotics during or after the birth of their baby. That is also true if the mother had antibiotics during her pregnancy or is prone to yeast infections. The yeast protocol that I use is very effective, so if you are having painful, itchy or blanched nipples or deep burning pain in your breasts give me a call as soon as you can! I want to be your Lactation Consultant and help you get past the yeast infection so you can breastfeed comfortably and successfully!
