Hi mummies, please share what are some signs that breastfeeding is not going well.

These are the common problems during breastfeeding: 1. Low milk supply: less than 30ml-50ml for each breast during pumping. You can try to direct latch more frequently or increase pumping frequency so to let your body knows that there is a demand. 2. Engorgement and blocked duct: if the breast is too engorged and didn't clear it, it will become blocked ducts and the breasts will be as hard as rock and very painful. What you can do is apply hot compression on the breast and try to pump it out. You may want to engage a breast massage specialist to help you to clear the blockage. 3. Masitis - if you are having fever and breast area is swollen and red, you are likely getting masitis, breast infection. You need to visit lactation consultant and get antibiotics. 4. Baby refuses to latch on - if you offer milk bottle or pacifier before breastfeeding has established, baby will get nipple confusion. Baby will reject to latch on the nipple.
