After 3 weeks I gave up :( but I wish I hadn't. It was something I really wanted to do

@alexzandriar, I'm at my breaking point, I dread feeding time cause it hurts so bad. I just keep thinking that it's good for her and it's free lol

Have you tried the nipple cream? It soooo wonderful lol, and it's shouldn't hurt if your doing it right, (I learned that the hard way) I literally had blisters

@alexzandriar, I did get some but I feel like it's not working. It says put on before and after feeding. It's a sting burning feeling throught the whole breast when she's on. Is the blisters the reason u stopped?

aww don't give up hun. I used the medela nipple cream (great for diaper rashes as well) my son is two days older than your baby and he is going through a growth spurt now. I get a slight pain when he latches but after a minute or so when I have a let down it subsides.

@tiffrae, I'm really trying not to give up. I wanna have that bond with her plus how good it is for her I don't wanna stop but the pain is getting unbearable. When she latches on I flick up her lips so she has more of the areola so I know it's not her latch so it makes me think of I have an infection or something. How/when do u use your cream?

she might just have a strong suction like my son does. I had blisters on both my nipples in less than 36 hrs after birth. you might have a clogged duct (warm washcloth and massage your breast). I used my cream after every feeding. wearing breast pads helped too for some reason even though I don't have an issue with leaking.

Air dry after feedings, I recommend using your own breastmilk and kinda rubbing on nipple and air drying (bm is amazing at healing too) and if it's really bad try a nipple shield or pump every couple feedings to give the nipples a break. Do you rotate breasts on feedings? That helps give them more recovery time for sure.
