Breast sensitivity

Yes, first week of breastfeeding. My milk only came in yesterday and it really is just so painful. Doesn't help that we're still working on getting a good latch.
I hear you! I’ve been there and understand the struggle. I thought I’d give up. Hang in there mama, it’s hard but after a couple of weeks, it will be better. The nipple cream really is a life saver so use it after each feed. I also recommend getting lactation consultant as soon as you can too so that you can ensure proper latch at the beginning. I got in a bit late and my one nipple got a crack the first week and it was really painful. It’s still there and just never gets a chance to heal :)
I remember these days. I LOVED my haaka. And I went to a lactation consultant and she was amazing.
Lactation consultant + mama earth nipple cream :) good luck!
Thank you ladies ❤️
I got Silverettes, and found them soothing when also using Lanolin 🙂. Don't worry, it will get better Mumma!
Are you in the first week of breastfeeding? I remember having the same issue. I couldn’t even dry my nipples with the towel after bath. It was so painful. But it will pass, hang in there, you’re doing great! I find that using nursing pads helped me with the pain in the first couple of weeks. And Dr. Jack Newman’s nipple cream saves my life. I still use it after each feeding and it’s almost 7 weeks now.
