How does nipple pain indicate a latch problem, and how to address this?

Hi Julia! Thank you for your question! Nipple pain is a common symptom of a poor latch or as you've mentioned, "a latch problem", as the right latch does not bring pain or sharp discomfort. However, when a IBCLC assesses the situation, she'd probably check on other potential symptoms as well, such as clogged ducts, heavy breasts even after nursing, baby's weight gains and wet diapers. The best way forward is to correct the latch early enough and this can be done by the aid of a lactation consultant! Alternatively, you can also try out other breastfeeding positions that promote a deeper latch such as laid-back or football hold to address the situation. All the best!
