Make sure po to learn how to DEEP LATCH. Common po ang nipple pain sa breastfeeding moms kasi ang usual advice na natatanggap natin ay "natural lang yan. Tiisin mo lang, masasanay ka rin" 😢 but the truth is that breastfeeding is NOT supposed to be painful. Kapag masakit po, i-unlatch si baby and try again. Watch this video on how to avoid nipple pain: https://youtu.be/WVEABNhXr1A?si=Y1f8voRdjOHSp51D Basta kapag nasasaktan kayo, iunlatch nyo agad sya, lalo na kapag kinagat nya. Huwag sigawan or magreact in an animated way, which they might find amusing and make them do it intentionally. Soon enough, matutunantu rin ni baby that whatever it is he's doing is wrong and will result to "no more dede" kaya titigilan na nya. Also advise ko rin po na kapag 1yo na baby nyo, focus on giving nutritious solid foods na po. By all means, continue breastfeeding pero foods na po dapat ang main source of nutrition nya at 1yo ☺️
