I'm determined to breastfeed but I'm sitting here in tears because my nipples are so raw and hurt so bad😰

Coconut oil is also great for it

@mamamo, try a nipple shield. That really helped me!

I'm sure there comparable ! There probably the same just different brands

@babybermea, @theirmommy_2 thank you guys. I have the lansinoh cream but I'll try that one

Also I had no problem with my baby's latch and even had the lactation specialists double check I think it was just my breast adjusting

That happened to me after the first week of latching him I used the medala nipple cream for that day and it went away and hasn't came back . I was still in the hospital with the baby and they gave me mini samples . I know people say to use milk but my supply was barely coming in at that time I'll take a picture of it .

use a nipple shield for.now intil your skin heels

awwwnnn.. I'm so sorrry you're in pain.. I'm so anxious for my turn, I hope it all goes well.. but I heard from my friends different experiences.. some suffered for 2 or 3 days to breastfeed and then it became ok, others suffered for over 2 weeks.. but it's worthy.. I hope it gets easier ❤

@theosmommy, she has a perfect latch the skin just hasn't toughened up yet

Does your baby have a lip or a tongue tie?

@iqrahp5, I pumped earlier and when I nursed just now I was in tears. Her latch was perfect too the skin is just so raw @stoneeyes77

have you watched those videos on youtube? I don't know if it's your case, but sometimes the baby is not latching properly..

There's also a 1-800 at Gerber where they can help you..

I've heard applying breast milk to your nipple will help heal them. Idk if it's true but it's worth a shot.. breastfeeding is the hardest but most rewarding accomplishment. Good Luck Momma

mine are like that at first. latching on always has me in tears. I swear it goes away and doesn't come back nearly that bad. only quick hurt if over full.

I am with you breastfeeding has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do

pump and then nurse
