Read the full fact sheet

Incorrect attachment of the baby on the breast is the most common cause of nipple pain from breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding is possible if you have inverted nipples, mastitis, breast/nipple thrush, eczema or nipple vasospasm.
Avoid soaps and shampoos during showering to help prevent nipple dryness.
Mastitis is caused by a blocked milk duct leading to inflammation or by a bacterial infection.
See a doctor promptly if your breast is red, painful, hot and tender to touch or if you have flu-like symptoms with a temperature.
