While breastfeeding is a normal, biological process, it often comes with challenges. Some lactating parents experience pain, cracked or bleeding nipples, plugged ducts, or mastitis. Meanwhile, babies might have poor weight gain, reflux, colic, or inability to stay awake while nursing. In some cases, tongue and lip ties can cause these breastfeeding difficulties. Anytime you experience problems, we encourage you to seek help from an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). At The Breastfeeding Center, conveniently located within The Birth Center in Sacramento, we can help you resolve breastfeeding issues.
