@addysmomma47, ya I've been using lanolin and gel pads which r both helping and thanks for the advice. I'm also working with lactation consultants so that's helpful

My pain went away around 3 weeks! If you don't use lanolin I would definitely get some. I also used coconut oil on them and that helped them heal. At first my baby wasn't gaining enough weight so I read online to let them completely eat one side and the next time the other one. At first the milk is full of sugar then it changes and is full of fat and protein. that helped her a lot!

@addysmomma47, I'm also open to tips and tricks

@addysmomma47, I'm not gonna we r getting the hang of it he's a pro, I'm ready for the pain to go away but it's better than it was

it gets better don't give up!! you'll be so proud of yourself!
