Interpretive Summary: Common problems associated with breastfeeding in the postpartum period are reviewed here. Some of these cause painful breasts, which, if untreated, is a common reason to stop breastfeeding
in the first few weeks after delivery. The initiation of breastfeeding and immediate postpartum evaluation of mothers and infants are discussed separately.
Technical Abstract:
Breastfeeding a healthy infant is often accompanied by challenges. Some may be predictable, while others are unexpected. These problems may accompany the normal anxiety of first-time
parents, who rarely appreciate the intensity of care infants require. Reassurance and guidance often will enable mothers to continue breastfeeding through the first year.
