How can I best help my wife breastfeed? She has some problems with one breast and loses confidence when she tries to feed with that breast. However I know it's important she uses both breasts to prevent swelling or mastitis.

In the event if your wife feels uncomfortable while breastfeeding with one of the breast, you can assure her that this is normal as some mothers and some babies are used to being fed only on one breast. Worried about the swelling? Pump it out. She may not feed on the left for example. Feed baby on the right and pump both breast after that. There may be more milk on the breast that is being latched on even after latching.
