Breast pumping

Put the lanolin... Regularly to ease the pain... Let your baby larch as many times as possible, 2-3 weeks and you will be fine
I would say roughly 2 months maybe a little less. Use nipple butter religiously! I used it here and there when I’d remember but once I started using it consistently it made a huge difference
Are you manual pumping? It’s advised not to use an electric pump for first 6 weeks as they’re usually too powerful and cause unnecessary pain and cracks etc on the nipples. Xx
If you get any sort or cracking or dryness, I swear by silver cups. I’m 11 months breastfeeding and I still use them when I need to. Especially good in the cold if you’re extra sensitive too! ✨
Make sure you have the correct flange size! It makes ALLLLLLL the difference!
6-8 weeks
Mine actually took 2 months to be okay. It was so painful I thought I had an infection. Apparently they were just very raw from pumping and breastfeeding and needed to make sure I change my nursing pads as often as possible.
