thanks everyone even more thanks @m.m18 because that's exactly how I feel

try nipple shields. or make an appointment to either see your doctor or the baby's to help you figure out a plan for breastfeeding. also there's a cream that you can put on your nipples after every feeding to help with dryness, cracking, and snoreness and is safe if the baby needs to feed again.

@2016baby,

Try pumping & get nipple shields & cream :) the cream is 100% baby safe

Always remember, fed is best. If your are ready to stop nursing then stop. Don't feel like you are failing baby because you decided to stop. I just weaned after 7 months and it took my a while to not feel the guilt but I'm so glad I was able to do it for as long as I did :) baby is still very healthy and happy on formula :) happy momma means happy baby.

Make sure he is latching correctly. That's the main reason for nipple pain.
