SUPPORTING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALONG YOUR FEEDING JOURNEY!

Breast pain with feeding is the most common reason for earlier than desired weaning. Some of the most common reasons for breast pain while breastfeeding are clogged milk ducts and mastitis which are now considered a spectrum of conditions caused by inflammation in the breast.
