FAQs

Is breastfeeding painful?
Breastfeeding should not be painful. Mild tenderness in the first few days can happen, but sharp pain usually means the latch or position needs a small fix.
Can I feed after a C-section?
Yes. You can breastfeed after a C-section. We will help you find comfortable positions (like side-lying or football hold) so there is less pressure on the stitches.
What if my baby refuses to latch?
This is common and usually fixable. We check positioning, latch, and any issues like sleepiness, tongue-tie, or congestion, then guide you step by step.
Is formula better if I have low supply?
Not necessarily. Low supply often improves with the right latch, feeding frequency, and a plan that suits you. If supplementation is needed, we will guide you safely while working on your supply.
Can I follow this advice along with home remedies?
Please check with us before trying home remedies. Some are safe, but others can reduce milk supply or irritate the baby. We will suggest what is safe and evidence-based.
