Pumping is killing me I wish I could just breast feed without pain

You shouldn't pump for at least a month. You will cause a big oversupply. The pain will leave in about a week or two.

Have u seen a lactation consultant to make sure he has proper latch or checked for tongue tie I know with most of my kids my nipples were just really sensitive and it took a couple weeks for it to stop hurting do u have 1 side that doesn't hurt as bad

@jskidsmom, over supply isn’t the issue

@toshagager1988, I have an appt with her tomorrow think it’s tongue tie but I’m not sure they both are scabbed at this point I attempted different positions, ointments and I couldn’t power threw it so I started pumping 😪

I am not saying its an issue but it can become one. You can get mastitis and oversupply from pumping too soon. Plus pumping hurts than actually putting the baby on breast. Theres a silcone pump that does not keep suction that I found quite helpful

@lovelyjane I hope u find some answers tomorrow and keep applying creams don't let them dry out and also u could rub some of ur milk on ur nipples see if that helps how long have u been pumping

@toshagager1988, since yesterday but hopefully it’s only for these two days and she fixes me issue tomorrow

@lovelyjane even pumping for a couple days will help let ur nipples heal I know my daughter's were really mean to mine and it got to the point were I'd pump 1 side and feed her with the other but it took a month for it not to hurt any more but I only pumped for a couple of days I hope she's helpful tomorrow

@toshagager1988, ended up being inverted nipple I bought a nipple protector/ inverted and new nipple cream and I’ve been solely breast feeding today no pump at all

@lovelyjane that's great so happy it was figured out
