Will my nipples get used to the pump after a few times or will they always hurt and feel chapped during and after it?

wondering the same just had my baby yesterday and my nipples already hurt n feel chapped 😓 dreading using the pump.. but i been using lanolin and it helps a lil bit.

Yeah i use it when he refuses to latch on.

@sashamcanelas2015 ill check that out and see if it helps me. Thank you!

@jaquelinerachelle, no problem!

Lanolin is good. Hope it gets better 4 y'all

@n_favors thank you!

Make sure you're using the correct size! Also, it can depend on the pump. The Medela really hurts my nipples while the Spectra does not.

@aengs2 i have the Amēda dual pump. But i never knew it had to be the right size. 😮😮😮

@jaquelinerachelle, Yeah it's so confusing to figure it all out. There's so many things they don't tell you. Definitely look into it. They sell different sizes. A lactation consultant can help you!

First off congratulations!! He’s a cutie pie :) Every person is different, for me it hurt month after month. Don’t be discouraged to try what works for you. For me I preferred my son latching on me it didn’t really hurt unless he caught the tip of my nip.

@aengs2, great feedback! I’m due in March I can do the research now ;)

My lactation consultant had told me if it was too painful to wipe off the cream before each feeding which was painful and tiring, as well as baby not liking it plus the fact that they were sore she suggested my own breastmilk to rub a layer of it around my nipples.
