Bought a manual pump. I mean, I understood the concept, but the pain!!! My poor nips 😩 I've managed…

Yeah its a killer pain.

it helps 2 have someone help u with the pumping ik it hurts n all but the pain will b less with someone elses help n get nipple sheilds they r great

Do all pumps hurt like that?

@tiffany_sanft, my electric medela PISA doesn't hurt

Okay, phew! Cause I'm getting an electric, but I'm a ftm so I don't know much about breastfeeding still..

@mommyslittleman,

it does take some getting used to.. your nips will toughen up..

@mommyslittleman, @tiffany_sanft @bria.k

@brwneydgirly25, do you use lanolin or anything?

I did used lanolin when they were chapped.. @tiffany_sanft

@tiffany_sanft, it stopped hurting after 5 minutes on each nip.

@bria.k, is manual less painful? I'm really nervous for my nipples lol I've been hearing some crazy stories, but I want to breast feed.

I'm right there with you, the pain is gross 😫

@bria.k, oh okay. It just stops on its own or did you have to use something? Sorry, I'm just super nervous!

@stormygirl, I haven't tried an electric one. Manual definitely hurt though. I was laughing in shock lol.

@tiffany_sanft, you just kinda get used to it! I haven't put anything on my nipples yet, I want them to get tough lol.

@peaceinfall, it didn't even help! Lol

Call your Insurance to get an electric one.
