The most common cause of pain during breastfeeding
is due to nipple trauma caused by improper positioning
and inappropriate latch-on.7 Other causes include short/
flat or inverted nipples, oral dysfunctions in the infant,
excessively short frenulum, prolonged nonnutritive
sucking, improper use of milk pumps, not breaking suction
before taking the infant off of the breast, use of creams
and oils that cause allergic reactions on the nipples, use
of nipple shields and prolonged exposure to wet nursing
pads. The myth that fair-skinned women are more
vulnerable to nipple trauma than dark-skinned women
has never been confirmed.3
