My youngest is 4 days old, I am breast feeding and one of my nipples is cracked and was bleeding a little this evening...normal in the beginning? I dont remember this with my first but breast feeding didn't go well with my first.
If you don't already have Jack Newman's compound cream, get a prescription from your doctor. It is life changing. The pain will go away around 3-4 weeks once you're used to it more.
Def normal.. once they adapt and little latches like a pro .. it all goes away
Yup totally normal! Your nipples will get use to the suction after a while, it helps to use some nipple cream and wear soft nursing bras! 😊
Thank you. I was only using cream when they were a little sore...clearly my bad! Lol and I have been only wearing nursing tank tops with me bra at all, I just find it so much easier.
@jessica_mceachern_133, if you have the dr. Jack Newman nipple cream it really helps with the soreness and it’s an all purpose cream btw! And yea they say to use it after each breastfeeding session so try that and see if it makes a difference for you! 😊
@courtney.zivic-taylor ok awesome thank you I will ask about it for sure!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
If you can't handle the pain try a nipple shield or look into them. Super helpful but some nipple confusion risks so make sure you understand them.
