Breastfeeding & Pain

Sh

Why don’t other moms talk more about the pain with breastfeeding? I often feel very alone. Am I the only one? I keep struggling with one nipple that seems to never heal. I would have times where it would feel better but never “normal”. I’ve had cracks, blood, engorgement, fast letdown, clogged ducts, mastitis, low supply, etc. I still push through it for the nourishment and bond with my baby. I feel so proud I can BF... but why can it still be so painful?? Pumping was never my friend.. I feel like the pump just damaged my nipples more. I’m having a rough time now with a teething baby. I’m sending love to fellow moms going through it, I know I need it! ❤️
