I use a nipple shield for the first 3-4 months my daughter is 5 months & doing fine with no nipple shiels. don't give up you can do this.

try a nipple shield, talk to a lactation consultant... plenty of women go back to work while breastfeeding.... don't give up, it does hurt in the beginning until they get their latch corrected.... honestly once I talked to my lactation consultant I felt much better about the whole thing

@interraciallove20 what she said ^^^ lol if baby isn't latching right it'll hurt. try a nipple shield to help baby latch. it'll also help your sore nipples. The nipple shield isn't for long term use though, so you'll need to gradually wean baby off it and then she won't need it,bc she'll be a pro at latching! you can still work and breastfeed! plenty of mommies of do it!

@interraciallove20, the only thing nipple cream does is stop them from cracking. it's not meant to stop the pain.

i used nipple cream that's suppose to protect the nipple, but it didnt work really @rosalinasmami

awww have you tried using a nipple shield? it always hursts in the beginning 😣 but once they get good latch and get the hang of it, it shouldn't hurt.
