What does it feel like to breastfeed? It's uncomfortable watching others do it. What does it feel like personally?

Question

Thank you!

Answer

At first, it fucking hurts, your nipple crack and it's just such a strange feeling, but by the time you've been feeding for weeks/months your nipples have hardened up so much you hardly even feel them suckle. It kinda just feels like you've got pins and needles on your nipple. When they bite down or stretch there head back while the nipple is still in their mouth, that's when you wish you never breastfed haha

Answer

After the first week of soreness and pain, it just feels . . . Comforting, soothing, and happy. You don't really physically feel anything (sometimes you may feel your milk let down) but your hormones usually make sure you're feeling somewhat euphoric. Kind of feels like love (in a maternal way).

Answer

It didn't hurt me at all. As long as the baby latch on correct it doesn't hurt but it does feel weird until you get use to it. As far as the nipple being cracked or dry just use a nipple blam or coconut oil on them. You should be fine with a great lactation nurse while u in the hospital.

I have breast fed all of my babies. This is my 4th pregnancy..i only had pain the first time i breast fed. I love it..the bonding is amazing! You save money on formula..nightime feedings no running to get a bottle..just pop your boob out lol it can at times be tough like when in public not wanting to feel akward but i personally just cover up..baby is fine when you do that btw like put a blanket over your a
Shoulder and baby eats just fine. Breast feeding is what is best for baby but its your choice...what fits you and baby and your schedule..etc

Answer

I didnt hurt at all. I think its because my lactation nurse was awesome. ;) I was taught to roll my nipple into the mouth. You grab your areola, put the bottom of it on babes bottom lip then roll it to open their mouth and they will latch on properly. Just putting nipple straight into mouth can hurt you. Hope that made sense. Anyways due to no hurt or cracking it was awesome. The only thing I really suggest is dont let the kid use you as a pacifire. Mine would conk out and want  back on ALL day. Lol
