What should I do if I have engorgement, clogged ducts, or mastitis?
Start with gentle, frequent milk removal (breastfeed or pump), warm compresses and light massage before feeds, and cold compresses after to reduce swelling. If you have fever, worsening pain, or flu-like symptoms, seek medical advice promptly as it may be mastitis.

Why do I have sore, cracked, painful nipples when breastfeeding?
Sore or cracked nipples are commonly caused by an improper latch, positioning issues, or frequent friction during feeds. Using nipple care essentials like Silver Cups and getting latch support early can help prevent worsening pain and support healing.

How do I increase or stimulate my breast milk supply?
Breast milk supply is usually increased by removing milk more often, ensuring an effective latch, and feeding or pumping regularly (including power pumping if needed). Stay hydrated, eat well, rest when possible, and consider speaking to a lactation consultant if supply remains low.
