Breastfeeding and Pain: What’s Normal? 

Myth: Breastfeeding hurts

If you’re new to breastfeeding, you likely have questions about what is and isn’t normal, especially when it comes to pain. If you’re experiencing pain or other issues, please ask for help.

Call our National Breastfeeding Helpline at 800-994-9662 to get advice from a trained breastfeeding peer counselor.
