I really don't know how you ladies can continue to breastfeed I just started two days ago n I can't! my nipples hurt…

I wanna try it does it really hurt that bad ??? my mom said it would ...@monique51893,

If you stop now, it will go away...You are doing it wrong if it hurts like that! The baby is probably latching wrong, you should go see a specialist like ASAP!

It only hurts in the beginning! Once you get past the first week, everything will be ok!!

The first few days are the absolute worst. You could not be doing anything wrong. Your nippples just have to get use to the constant sucking. And if they are cracking then u need nipple creme. And once your milk comes in u can use breastmilk to help with the cracking and irritation. I do want to tell you tho that it gets easier. Its okay if you just don't want to do it but just in case you need some motivation..... it does get easier.

im gonna do both formula and breast milk !

Im bf and formula. But I add formula because my supply is low. It hurts in the beggining. I've been crying, because pain was unbelievable. Even I wanted to gave up. But I knew that breastmilk is the best for my son. U can use the cream. And u can use ur own milk. Just leave it on the nipples and let them dry

yes in the beginning is the worst!! but after the first two weeks your nipples get used to it😊 I breastfeed my son for almost two years

You might also want to try a nipple shield. Seeing a lactation consultant would be best but if you don't have the opportunity for that, a nipple shield could save your BFing relationship. It saved mine!! :)

A nipple shield is awesome, you should use that up until your nipple heals then go back to it

yea ima look in to it .

If it hurts that bad the baby isn't latching properly, see a lactation consultant (ins pays for it)
