Anyone exclusively pumping?? I have a lot of questions 😫

Following !

I did with my son in the beginning, I have weird nipples lol so he couldn’t latch well.

I did for the first 2 months of my son's life

@littleonemorning, @mckallalynn.., did you guys ever get random shooting pains?? & is it normal to have scabs??? My baby was tongue tied & is really tiny so she’s having a hard time latching ☹️

@asandovaln, no scabs, but pain yes. Especially if I went too long without pumping

@asandovaln, I used to only pump same situation as @littleonemorning,

And I didn’t ever have scabs but I’m sure it’s not uncommon and shooting pains I personally never got just make sure you pump often and use nipple cream

@littleonemorning, how long could you exclusively pump my supply dried up after a few months /:

@lost.sock.thief, I didn’t realize I had them until it started hurting so bad at the beginning of each pumping sesh 😫 I’m hoping the nipple cream helps I don’t want to give up bc of them

@asandovaln, awh ! The cream should help keep them nips nice An moisturized !

Palmers cocoa nursing butter helped me and if you can let it air dry after applying to let it soak in. Breastfeeding was hard but rewarding. I tried to just wear a light baggy shirt or honestly nothing on top if you can cause material and nursing pads would rub on nipples and made it hurt. Or there is a cotton nursing bra from madea at babys r us.

@asandovaln I did have shooting pain sometimes and it wasnt mastitis thankfully.

@jlbentley231, I don’t have mastitis either I was so scared it would be! Apparently I had a clogged duct
