Breastfeed
Hello. I am feeding for past 1 month. I have 2 queries, request for assistance
1. The aerola part has small bumps in the circular fashion, exactly at the place where my baby sucks. There is no consistent pain, but when touched it feels pricky. Is this normal ?
2. After feeding, there is pricky feeling in the breasts - this stays for 20-25 mins and then goes away. It happens after every feed. Is this normal again ?
