i have two questions 1. my nipples burn real bad what would make this happen ? 2. my son with only latch with the nipple…

if the pain is still bad i will go to the doctors cuz this is no joke thank you @octobermamma

thanks @cmwilliams

thrush causes burning after nursing. catch it early as possible. it's terrible the and gets more painful as it goes.

Well I would suggest using the coconut oil before and after pumping and nipple cream before and after feeding with the shield. Idk if babies can ingest coconut oil safely, but I know the medela nipple cream can be used before feeding your baby.

If that doesn't help I would call and ask a local lactation nurse.

Yeah its none stop @cmwilliams when will breastfeeding be easy he is 7weeks

My nipples usually get a slight burning sensation when there full or letting down. ..maybe it could be that?? is it constant?

Good!! @loyallove0809

omg them pictures are bad no mine dont look like that @sarah.griffy

@loyallove0809, Did anything look similar?

@loyallove0809 I know the feeling

Okay i will keep trying but it is hard and i hate hearing him sad or mad @octobermom14

just keep trying..I was frustrated at first that he wasn't taking the nipple. when I got home from the hospital. so many tries eventually he took it. he's two months old loves breast milk. I'm trying to give him formula because I'm going back to school. now that's a struggle for me. cream works great

Okay thank you @sarah.griffy

You could have thrush or yeast. check Google images.

i stopped nipple cream along time ago i started using coconut oil when im done pumping

Are you using nipple cream? your nipple might be chaffing between the rubber on the nipple shield.

Also if your nipples aren't big enough that could be why he can't latch.
