Baby was born premature at 35 weeks on 7th nov2013. Uptill now i constantly have problems feeding due to sore cracked nipples and severe breast pain during and after nursing.... What is the reason behind this??? As i really wished to breastfeed exclusively but all my efforts failed badly( took lactare 2 tabs thrice a day for 2-3 weeks) I give her lactodex lbw uptill now ( 150ml thrice a day) ... When can i switch to lactodex1 or nan1????please help!!! This is the last hope for me... Thank you
