Anyone else have sore nipples when you first start breastfeeding? Lasting about 20-30 seconds & then it subsides. Anything I can do to stop that from happening? I lather my nipples in coconut oil after each feeding.

Agree with other comments... big, open latch!  In the beginning, my baby's mouth was much smaller and she would clamp down so it hurt when she first latched on anyway, but it gets better with time. And nipple cream helps heal if you're dealing with pain from cracked or sore nipples. Good luck!

aja · Answer

make sure they don't nibble their way  on  when feeding starts .  make sure mouth is all the way open before putting nipple in.  good latch equals less pain

It's a terrible pain the first minute then it's ok! I wish I knew if you could do something and if it last until your don't breast feeding!! Cuz it hurts and it makes me want to quit breast feeding sometimes! Although I won't!
