Does breastfeeding hurt?

Question

breastfeeding hurt?" />

Answer

Think about it as walking in new shoes, in the beginning it's a bit odd, you might get a blister or a bit sore, but after a little while it's no problems. But if there a bad fit (baby not latching properly) you might need some help to get things corrected.

Answer

It's normal for it to be uncomfortable for the first little while, but if it's painful enough to take your breath away then something isn't right

Answer

For me, it only hurts that first week when your breasts are so full right when your baby latches. It stings for a second and then goes away. I breastfed my son for 21 months and it truly only hurt those first couple of weeks. Im just now past week one with my baby girl and that first latch pain is already going away.

Answer

Pumping hurts more imo. It shouldn’t hurt but it can be a little uncomfortable in the beginning. Your nipples can get dry and crack and that could be the painful part but they have cream for that.

Answer

I got sore until my milk really came in. After that it was back to normal.

Answer

With my baby, sometimes it feels like a pinch when he first latches and the initial letdown is uncomfortable but other than that it doesn't hurt at all. I got a bit tender with cluster feeding but Earth Mama Nipple Balm is amazing and works wonders! The important thing is knowing how to get a good latch.
