Breastfeeding\u2010related pain is a unique experience due to breastfeeding's goal\u2010directed purpose, repetitive nature, and socio\u2010emotional reflections of successful parenting. Understanding how lactating parents cope with breastfeeding\u2010related pain will inform clinical practice to encourage individuals to meet their lactation goals. The aim of this study was to evaluate how lactating parents view coping with breastfeeding\u2010related pain to be different from coping with other types of pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a secondary analysis of a pilot randomized control study of a breastfeeding pain self\u2010management intervention.
