Many mothers experience problems when they start breastfeeding. Raynaud’s phenomenon can make your nipples extremely sore but can be helped by nursing in a warm room. Breasts can develop yeast, get bruised, produce too much milk, or get clogged milk ducts. Some mothers even experience rusty pipe syndrome and see blood on their nipples because they are cracked. Luckily this eventually clears up on its own majority of the time.

Key Takeaways:

• When you and your baby are successfully breastfeeding, the perks are off-the-charts awesome.
• One way to feel empowered even before you start your nursing journey is to know about the problems that can occur so that you aren’t caught off-guard if breastfeeding isn’t a breeze.
• ”The nipples can go white in a cold room, and it’s extremely painful,” says Dr. Deena Blanchard, a pediatrician at Premier Pediatrics who helped launch The First Month Program.
