A baby sucking on the mother's nipples for too long can lead to sore breasts. You nipples can become hard and/or cracked as well from the draining of her milk. There can be latching problems as well, and these are common among mother and child. The baby can find it hard to latch on for the nipple being foreign to them. This is mainly in prime newborns. If this does happen you can ask your doctor about how to go about this. The breasts will sometimes not produce enough milk for the baby and cause formula to be equated for a short period of time and can cause the baby to become sick, in extreme cases. Try to stay healthy while breast feeding to ensure a good production of milk for the baby. Breastfeeding problems arise commonly, most are nothing to worry to much about though for they have easy

The creams designed to "harden" the nipple and prepare the baby's sucking may not be effective against minor ailments that can be encountered during lactation (cracks, blockages...).

Breast milk is easily digested by a newborns immature digestive system (DiSanto, 2012). Breast milk is always fresh, available and free (DiSanto, 2012). The skin to skin contact during breast feeding can enhance the emotional connection between mother and baby (DiSanto, 2012).

Although it appears that breastmilk is the most beneficial way of feeding an infant but there are some negativies to breastfeeding. First of all, women must carefully watch their diet that breastfeed. Women who drink a lot of coffee or soda pop can make their baby more prone to irritability and restlessness. Women also have to be careful not to eat to much fish or drink to much alchol. A formula fed baby's mom doesn't have to worry about what she eats at all. Secondly, women suffering from HIVS and AIDS may make breast feedings unsafe. Medications they take can actually harm the baby. Finally, many women feel the "latch-on" to be uncomfortable. Pain is common within the first minute but some women find it uncomfortable throughout the whole feeding. This is a sign of infection and a mother would be advised to switch to formula feeding.

Breast Feeding: If mother is contaminated through WNV then her baby will also get contaminated through WNV during breast feeding.

For newborns, breast milk can be very nutritious and will protect your infant against diseases. The protection that breast milk forms will wear off within a

A gram-negative coccus, intracellular obligate parasite is how you would describe the most prevalent STD in the United States, Chlamydia Trachomatis (C. Trachomatis). Chlamydia Trachomatis is responsible for so many different infections, but in this entry, we are going to focus on how it is transmitted, treated, prevented, and how a newborn gets affected by an infected mother. Do not forget to have your coffee in hand as this will be very informative!

Mastitis is a breast infection that most often develops during the first six weeks of nursing. Mastitis occurs when germs enter a crack in your nipple or through one of your milk ducts. These germs then multiply and cause a painful infection. If you have a fever or chills with a red, hard lump in your breast, it's important to contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic that is safe to take while nursing. Mild pain relievers and warm compresses can also be used to help with the pain.

Breastfeeding or nursing as some call, it is the feeding of babies and young children with milk from a woman’s breast. There are many myths that come along with this phenomenal ability. One of the most common being, many women do not produce enough milk, which is not true. In retrospect women produce more than needed. Another common myth is that women are told it is normal for breastfeeding to hurt. Most definitely there will be tenderness within the beginning stages of the child learning how to latch and the process for a mother but the pain should subside and not cause pain. A child must be given extra water in hot weather, which is also not true. Breast milk holds all the valuable nutrients and water a child requires. Many compare formulas

Breastfeeding can be challenging, especially during the first few weeks after childbirth. It is normal to have some problems when you start to breastfeed your new baby, even if you have breastfed before.

When you think of feeding your baby, you have two options: breast milk or formula. I’m sure when you think of breastfeeding, you think it’s hard and painful, but in

If cuts are made in the fold underneath your breasts or near your armpits, you are less likely to have problems producing milk. If cuts are made around or across the darker area that surrounds your nipple (areola), you are more likely to have trouble producing milk. This is because milk ducts are located in this area, and because cuts in this area can cause nerve damage.

New moms may be ready to kick back with all manner of foods that weren't permitted or made her sick during her pregnancy. However, if the baby shows reactions to breast milk after a nursing session, it may be a good idea to consider eliminating the above foods to see if that helps the baby with fussiness, get rid of gas or have healthy bowel movements. If these foods being cut from the diet do not help, a discussion with the pediatrician is very

Another problem that can be spotted early is a condition called “baby bottle tooth decay,” which is caused by sugary substances in breast milk and some juices, which combine with saliva to form pools inside the baby’s mouth.

Breastfeeding is an experience that is foreign for most people until they actually experience it. I had limited knowledge of breastfeeding until I interviewed my friend who currently has two children. Before she had her first child, she read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos, but they still didn’t quite capture the experience. She is a nurse and with her healthcare background, she felt confident about the importance of breastfeeding her children, especially in the first 6 -12 months. Before her baby, she was worried about the physical process and what it would feel like. After birth, she was more worried about her baby being able to breastfeed. For the first few weeks, her baby was having a hard time breastfeeding and she had to occasionally
