When does breastfeeding getting easier?
My nipples are sore & it hard for me to breastfeed my son. It hurts.
If you have any questions or need help with latch can feel free to message me. I seriously know almost everything there is to know now about BF because I had such a hard time!
It shouldn't hurt mama. Maybe uncomfortable but never painful, LO may not have the latch down yet or they may be a tongue tie.
It took a few weeks for the pain to subside for me, my daughter has a lip tie and tongue tie that stretched over time and the pain got better. Just keep working on getting that latch right, try and find a local Le Leche League near you, they can be very helpful and have lactation consultants available 😊 to help your nipples heal faster I suggest hand expressing a little breast milk and rubbing in all over the nipple after each feed, there are healing properties in the milk. Also coconut oil is great for that, as is lanolin 😉 I promise with practice you guys will both figure out a painless latch, remember baby has to learn, too! Just hang in there! It took me a lot of training and pain and tears and patience but now were nearly 6 months strong, not one bottle or pacifier just mommy's boobies 😎 LOL
