Episode 18: "Help! I'm in severe pain, but my lactation consultant said my latch looks great!"

This can lead to doubts in your ability to trust yourself, and a long road of ignoring your own pain signals, or a feeling of failing once you decide to make a different plan for your baby.In this episode IBCLC and host Lo Nigrosh discusses:

• Potential causes of severe pain
• How you can help yourself at home
• What to do if your attempts to help yourself don’t work
• How to get support for the pain
