A poor latch. Nipple pain caused by a poor latch is usually immediate and often subsides during feeding. It is also extremely common. Getting the right latch should start right from a baby's first feeding. A new mom should ask her caregiver to place her baby on her stomach as soon as she's born.
In breastfeeding, the latch is the moment everything comes together: Your baby takes a big mouthful of your nipple and areola (or latches on), begins to suck, and draws out your milk. When your baby has established a good latch, your nipple soreness is minimized and your little one gets the nourishment he needs.
