You are breastfeeding your newborn and experiencing pain because the baby has an improper latch. You should remove the baby from the breast and replace the baby back on the breast with use of proper latching.
How do you remove the baby from the breast?
- With your pointer finger (index) and your thumb, squeeze the breast and pull the baby off the breast.
