What is the cause of lactating nipple needle pain?

Lactating women feel nipples like needle-like pain is more common, especially within a week after childbirth. There are two main reasons for pain: first, because the baby's position is not correct, if the baby does not put the nipple and most of the areola into the mouth when feeding, it will cause special pain in the sucking process. Second, if the baby bites the nipple in the process of sucking milk and causes the nipple to crack, it will also cause the nipple to show a needle-like pain. The two methods of handling are the same. To let the baby develop a good feeding posture, try to open the baby's mouth wide when feeding, including most of the areola, do not force the nipple out after feeding, you can use a hand to press the baby's jaw, let the nipple naturally withdraw, squeeze a few points of milk on the nipple after feeding can alleviate symptoms.
