I have been breastfeeding my daughter for 2 months. The first month, I suffered through cracked nipples. They seem to be healed now and I am using a nipple shield but sometimes it still hurts. I know her latch is perfect because all the signs are there. maybe her suction is just really strong? Any advice? I want to go back to breastfeeding without a shield but I'm afraid of it hurting again like when they were cracked.

I heard if you put alittle breast milk on your nipples after feedings/pumping it helps with cracked nipples. I do it and I haven't had any problems.

I tried that for a while and it didn't seem to help. I am using lanolin and it helps some

Could baby have a tongue or lip tie?

She definitely doesn't have tongue tie. I haven't seen any issues with her lips
