haha seriously I was only able to nurse on the right side for a while and pumped until it healed it hurt so bad I tried nursing up until it actually bled I couldn't after that but now I have no problems either side

@mrscruz0530, ya they came in gave me nipple cream but ugh dont work I need a miracle cream lol I'm also giving him formula cuz I feel like he don't get full in I'm scared to BF on the one that is brusied now I even wanna cry when I latch him 😞 and yes when pressing oh no not a good feeling

Ouch that's what I went through have they given u anything for it ? I forgot what it's called but they should have something or u can have someone bring u coconut oil and try to put some on but it was so hard for me to nurse on that side when it was like that ! And ugh I hated when they pressed on my stomach ! I had a c section and when they pushed on it I was in so much pain! If u can't nurse on that side still hand express it cuz it's painful when it's full of milk :/

@mrscruz0530, actually just looked at it just by touching holy mama no bueno it's scab and brusied but that's the one i have stuff in

and cramping oh boy not a good feeling especially when they massage ur belly

we'll I hope you stop being in pain I think some hospitals have pumps maybe u can ask for one and try it and see if it hurts so u can see if it's not his latch or try hand expressing to get rid of some of the milk maybe ? hopefully some thing helps and hopefully it doesn't get bruised !

Thnx hun@mrscruz0530 they check them and said I'm producing alot but they also say he prolly latching on right but he is tho ..and no not brusied or bleeding or anything will not yet ..

Btw congrats!

That's ok do what works for you my baby had a hard time with having her in front ( not sure what it's called lol) the cramping is your uterus shrinking down when you feed which is good but yes painful! Did you ask them why your left side was hurting is it bruised or anything ?

@mrscruz0530, actually still in hospital and there was lactation counsultant came in already and showed me the football hold but was to hard for me for some reason ..but yes I love feeding him boobie but oh my!! my stomach gets these bad horrible cramps too

It gets better when my daughter was born I was having pain in my left one too it had actually started bleeding I was in a lot of pain ! I ended up buying a pump and pumping until it healed but try a different position and make sure he's latching right I nurse my daughter in the football hold she's gotten a lot better at latching and I have no more pain just don't give up it gets better and it's such an amazing bond ! Try speaking to a lactation consultant

@mommastone, yes I just had my boy yesterday n only my left nipple hurts but not the right...

It's tough for a bit but worth it!! I see it's the first week. Stay strong. It will pass. It's gonna be like that for awhile and you will have your good days. I was fine around the end of the second month.
