been breastfeeding for about a week and I feel like my nipples are raw😨 I have to use a shield because mine are flat..... any advice to help them feel better? I use lanolin like it's going out of style!!
motherslove it's sold at natural food places like fresh tyme near me. it's amazing feels better in seconds. also I suggest weaning off the shield I Have flat nipples too and once we got off them I hardly have any issues with sore nipples.
@maleahsmommy, I have been using the shield too! the lactation lady suggested it first and it's given me relief to keep going😊 try that balm that @cubanese recommended, I bought some and it's like Instant relief. also get heating pads and put them on right before you feed and right after!
The only thing that took my pain away was the shield I been using it since a few days after she was born .. now she won't even latch on my own nipple she only takes the shield. I was crying because the pain I was in and probably would have gave up on breast feeding . Creams didn't help me. :(
@cubanese, thankyou so much!!! going to go get some today!
Why can't other mom's just be there for other mom's and work together and help each other not bash other mom's because when other mom's bash other mom's it makes us feel like we aren't doing a good job at least that's how I feel when I get bashed.

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
Baby girl names ending in -ley
Hi! What are your favorite names or uncommon names that end with -ley? We already have a Finley, and I love Presley, but a good friend of mine may be using it. I feel like I have heard them all! Thank you!
don't give up it took us a while to not use it and get a good latch without it
