I've been breastfeeding for 3 days & omg I'm sore !
they hurt so bad, I want to switch to formula so bad but it's like I'm giving up on my baby & her needs. 😔😔
anyone have any tips/advice on what I can do to get a good latch / get rid of the soreness besides warm cloth ?

lansinoh lanolin... it's nip cream and that shield^... I used that at first with my son... I still use the shield because he won't feed any other way... but it worked for me... the lanolin does wonders for chapped nips and keeps em moist... best invention ever!!!
make sure you talk to a lactation consultant before you use a nipple shield. she might be able to help
thank you ladies ! defs appreciate the advice, I'll be talking to a lactation consultant and see what she tells me ! @kmally @kimberlyyyy
Definitely talk to a lactation consultant. Your baby might not be latching on well enough. Don't give up! Ask your on doctor if they can prescribe you a nipple ointment to help
Talk to your lactation nurse too! They can check to make sure baby doesn't have tongue or lip ties making it worse.
Coconut oil! Before and after every feed. It only hurts for a bit and it gets better I promise!
I had lots of bleeding and scabbing :( meet with lactation consultants and try motherlove nipple cream - It worked much better than lanolin!
