my daughter is 5 days old, and I'm breastfeeding. nipples are hurting so bad to where when I feed her I cry. she doesn't like bottles but I need to get her to latch to a bottle so my boobies get a break. ANY TIPS PLEASE!!! 😭😩
I'll be fine once I get her to latch to a bottle nipple. I believe she has a shallow latch. that's why I'm in so much pain. just glad I'm not the only one that's going through it. pumping doesn't hurt, it's just her latch is right she's just shallow. @ciaramarie @aidensmommy
I stopped breastfeeding at day 5 because I would cry too and my nipples had scabs ! I use the latch bottles and he likes them just fine. he still latches to me as well.
I put cream on it, massaged mine. And mine ended up bruised and so sore, bleeding ect. So I quit breast feeding. It's definitely a challenge!! And I know she was latched right because I went to a lactation consultant
Use nipple cream like every 20 minutes. I had to put it on constantly for almost 2 weeks. I promise it gets better! It was so painful for me but it got better and now it doesn't even hurt for a second and hasn't in a long time.
