Breastfeeding

redness underneath nipple

After nursing, my nipple looks red/bruised on the underneath. This happens both with and without the use of a nipple shield. LC said baby's latch looks good....so what's causing the redness? I'll bring it up again at my next LC appointment, but wondering what you ladies would suggest.

Re: redness underneath nipple

  • Is it painful?  I have that too on one side, but it doesn't hurt so I haven't really worried about it.

    It is painful during and right after feeding, but soon goes away. Just hoping it doesn't get worse over time.
