First night home and her second day of life with us: painful blister on left nipple and she just can't seem to latch well on my right. I did not expect this to hurt so much but I LOVE having her so close to me still... 😩

That's great!! Mine still doesn't open wide enough but I guess they toughened up a bit because it doesn't hurt as bad now, just when she first latches on.

@kissesz30, @bianca_rose thank you! I went back to the hospital and the lac consultant gave me one and it's helping tremendously. She's gotten the left nip down pack so when the right heals we should be okay. I just have to really encourage her to open wide or wait til she cries a bit you know? But we're doing it!

Yes it was a life/nipple saver lol my baby has a shallow latch so she's latching just to the nipple and not the whole areola, so painful, the right one ended up cracked. With the shield you can put coco oil or lanolin on them and let them heal while still nursing. The hospital gave me one but I've seen them in target/Walmart also

If you're still at the hospital you can ask for one there. If not, babiesrus, toysrus, Walmart any of those stores in the breastfeeding section.

The nipple shield will definitely help with the pain and help her learn to latch better. I had to use one with my son and I already got one just in case for this time around because that pain is no joke. @mamamoonbaby

I'll have to get some. I'm using coconut oil. I cave in and gave her a pacifier so I can have a break. I'm actually in tears from the pain!

FTM problems... So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It's making me sad. Like I wish I could quit my job and be home with her.

Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill? He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over tonight and run it by him...

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
