    Breastfeeding is going to hurt for a while. it took almost 3 weeks and many nights of tears and pain and then all of a sudden it stopped hurting. I almost gave up many times but I pushed through the pain and I'm so glad I did. 10 months now and still going strong! you can do it! :)

  • Nipple cream works wonders in just hours imo. Have you been letting your milk air dry? I was told it has its own healing properies.
  • I SWEAR to you. In the moment the nipple pain feels like foreverrrrrr.. but it takes about a month for the healing to mostly finish. But its so worth it. Once your baby is more active, you forget the pain you went through.
  • Cold (frozen) wash cloths help with inflammation on the nipples do it after each feeding.
