My little one wants to feed almost every 30 mins, I have to use a shield because of my nipples being flat and honestly they are starting to hurt even with him latching the right way. He has a pacifier right now but I am not sure how long it's goin to last. I really wanna breastfeed the 6 weeks I'm at home but I feel like if this keeps goin on and my nipples hurt the way they are imma have to stop and switch him to formula. I know breastfeeding helps with preventing sickness and is better for the baby so I don't really need any negative comments I just don't know what to do cuz this has gone on for 2 days now.
Honestly, letting your breast milk dry on your nipples is the best thing to heal them. or the lanolin cream works too. I have to use a shield as well so I know how you feel. @lindybee13
try pumping cause my nipples started to hurt so bad I almost switched to formula but I pumped and that's all I basically do now. we occasionally breastfeed but I prefer to pump
