that would be horrible @elizabethslewy ! yeah I'm not looking forward to the discomfort.. but it'll all be worth it.

I have had sensitive nipples since the very beginning of each pregnancy, this is my second. I can't even run shower water over them because it makes them feel so strange almost painful without the pain, if that makes sense. It definitely helped them get ready for the baby to be on them though. It makes breastfeeding less painful for me.
