Breastfeeding Frequency: The AAP vs. Babywise & Baby Whisperer» comparison chart by Dr. Anh Gordon, et al
Called «primary lactation failure,» this condition occurs when a mother's body does not make an adequate amount of milk for her baby, even when everything else is in order (including but not limited to: latching and positioning,
breastfeeding frequency and exclusivity, mother and baby being kept together, baby's oral anatomy is fine with no tongue - tie or cleft palate).
Breastfeeding frequency was significantly decreased at 2 weeks» postpartum in women who had instituted pacifier use by 2 weeks (8.1 ± 2.6 vs 9.0 ± 2.3; P =.003) and at 12 weeks» postpartum in women who had introduced pacifier use by 6 weeks (6.3 ± 2.0 vs 7.4 ± 1.6; P <.001).
Increasing
the breastfeeding frequency or shortening the intervals can also help with this problem because if the baby is less hungry, he will suck softly and hence your nipples will not crack.
