The case of excessive sweat (hyperhidrosis) is not so common but it does exist.. For your child I Believe it's due to the weather and then this weather.. It's hot everywhere madam and children are not spared from the heat. So I'll say relax, dress your child light, singlets and sleeveless bodysuit should be the wears for this weather. Keep your child hydrated, give alot of fluid preferably water.. Reduce the temperature of the AC more so as to make the room cooler.. There's no need reducing your child's activity.. They need it. If you are still bothered about the sweat, visit a paediatrician to confirm if it's a case of true hyperhidrosis

Most complaints of sore nipples, engorged breast, pain when breastfeeding and eventual mastitis or breast abscess have to do with improper attachment of the baby to the breast. Painful breasts mostly has to do with the baby sucking or chewing on the nipple, painful for the mother and frustrating for the baby.
For a successful and painless breastfeeding session, the whole of the nipple and majority of the areola (dark part) must be in the baby's mouth. Sit comfortably and let baby come to meet your breast and not you slouching to meet the baby. Additionally, always alternate the breasts between feeds. Let one breast empty first before switching to another.
And if you still feel you are not putting baby rightly on the breast, complain at the hospital so as to be directed.

Can you describe this noise?. Noise is not necessarily an indication that something is wrong. The sound you may hear is like a puff of air coming from the back of the throat, or "kha, kha," the sound of the baby exhaling after a swallow. If you hear that noise, it is a reliable indicator that the baby is swallowing.

WHO recommends breastfeeding up to 2 Years and beyond.
What do you mean by being hurt? Please do not apply any medicine on the nipples before breastfeeding the baby. Ensure your baby is well attached to the breast... All the nipple and areola should be in the mouth of the baby so as to avoid the baby sucking or biting on the nipples...this will prevent the nipple pain or sores.

A small number of new mums have difficulty producing enough breast milk due to medical reasons, which include:
Excessive blood loss (more than 500 ml) during the birth or retained fragments of the placenta can delay your milk coming in (which usually happens around three days after the birth).
A history of polycystic ovarian syndrome, diabetes, thyroid or other hormonal disorders. Mums with these conditions sometimes experience a low milk supply. The rare medical condition mammary hypoplasia, in which there isn’t enough milk-producing glandular tissue within the breast.
Previous breast surgeries or breast trauma – although many mums who have had surgery go on to breastfeed successfully. If any of these conditions applies to you, see a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist.
