Ok so this whole breastfeeding thing has been more painful than my csection. Talked to a lactation consultant that helped for moment she was there. I don't want to give up but my nips are so raw I have to hold my breath when he initially latches.
Once they callous over you will be good! And it's so rewarding :) do t give up yet
My mom told me, "hold out because as soon as you think that you cannot take it anymore, it gets better" and that is exactly what happened!! In the beginning a nipple shield helped also!
I'm so glad I still have some ibuprofen... I don't want to give up. I was never able to breastfeed my other kids because my husband and his family had no patience and we know you have to be patient... Now that we are no longer together Im gonna do things my way, so I have to prove to myself I can do it. It still hurts like Heck!!
