I am so overwhelmed with everything to do with breast feeding. I had my baby Saturday and was already able to hand express colostrum. but while I was at the hospital they wee giving me needs that made it hard for me to feel when I was feeding and now I have so much nipple damage its not even funny. not to mention , is like a Dyson vacuum. I was told by my doctor to pump for the next two days and let it heal. but when I went to p pump three was so much blood. iI feel so frustrated
i always heard that if you can get just the tiniest bit of milk out and rub it on your nipple that it will heal very quickly. sending prayers your way.
