Breastfeeding pain in breast or chestfeeding pain in chest
Here I would like to talk about some of the causes of pain in breast while breastfeeding with no lump as well as other kinds of pain that parents may experience in the breast that less commonly talked about.
Overactive letdown and oversupply
Having oversupply is painful, it often means waking up in the night to empty your breast/chest even if your baby is sleeping peacefully. With overactive letdown, few parents experience as painful directly but it can be very challenging for the baby to manage and they may learn that having a shallow latch is safer for their airway which in turn leads to painful breastfeeding/chestfeeding and decrease in supply.
