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…

Coconut oil! Before and after every feed. It only hurts for a bit and it gets better I promise!

Talk to your lactation nurse too! They can check to make sure baby doesn't have tongue or lip ties making it worse.

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

thank you ladies ! defs appreciate the advice, I'll be talking to a lactation consultant and see what she tells me ! @kmally @kimberlyyyy

try using the nipple shield

make sure you talk to a lactation consultant before you use a nipple shield. she might be able to help

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!!!

I had lots of bleeding and scabbing :( meet with lactation consultants and try motherlove nipple cream - It worked much better than lanolin!
