I love this article overall. But: If you feel pain, your baby is probably not latched on correctly. ARGH!!!!!! Yes, it very well could be an incorrect latch. However, there IS pain for most women who are starting BFing, just because your nipples have to get used to the whole experience. Telling women it should be pain-free just does a disservice, IMO. Yes, there's pain. And yes, it will go away.
