Breast feeding is the most important thing for every mother. It is the unique experience to be cherished. Sometimes certain simple problems faced by the mothers results in stoppage of the breast feeding or started giving artificial milk or commercial infant formula feeds to the baby. Problems may be like the flat nipples, inverted nipples, breast engorgement, swelling, sore nipples or not enough milk. These problems are preventable if due care is taken from the pregnancy period to prepare for the breast feeding.
