What should I do if my nipple hurts when my baby sucks it?

When feeding the baby, mothers often experience pain in the nipples due to the baby's sucking. At this time, mothers must learn to adjust, such as letting the baby breastfeed when he is in a relatively calm mood. If the baby is emotionally unstable, he may use too much force when breastfeeding, which will cause pain. In addition, the baby's breastfeeding posture must be adjusted, etc. If these cannot solve the problem, a breast pump can be used instead.
