For moms who could breastfeed: With your first baby, how long did you feel nipple pain with breastfeeding (I have it for the first minute or so when baby latches)?

Question

breastfeeding (I have it for the first minute or so when baby latches)?" />

Answer

I can't remember exactly. But stick with it!! It really does get so much easier.

Answer

I never felt pain with breastfeeding, I was told that if you feel pain then something may be wrong with your latch.

Answer

I had nipple guards for a few weeks to get through the pain. They were lifesavers. We just stopped breastfeeding at 23 months. Stick with it in the beginning, it's worth it!

Answer

Currently 3 weeks pp, and the pain is toe-curling. Does it ever go away?!

Answer

Almost 4 weeks and I still have some pain. Nothing like the first week so it seems to be getting better.  Lots of nipple balm tho.

Answer

4 months with my first baby, 2 mos with my second. Just had to power through it and it eventually got better

Answer

I had a lactation consultant tell me it's normal to get latching pain at the beginning.

Answer

Get a nipple shield! Life saver!!!

Answer

I accidentally hit 4 weeks and I meant to hit 5+ because it hurt until 6 weeks. During the first 6 weeks the medela nipple cream and gel packs were a life saver. Once we hit the 6 week mark things got so much better and I am so proud of myself for sticking to it. My nipples still get super tender for a day or two during my period, so I use nipple cream and it helps alot. Going on 5 months strong and I do not plan to quit anytime soon.

Answer

Triple nipple cream is a life saver. It is a prescription but oh so worth it.
