I hope this is the right place to post this I need help. I have been EP for about a month or so now with my 10 week old baby. I didn't have too many issues in the beginning but the last few weeks have been rough. I was hardly getting any milk from my left side but I could tell it was engorged but it seemed "stuck"? Also both of my nipples have started cracking really bad and I have some serious "scar tissue" at least that's what I think it is. It's a light area around my nipple that gets flaky and its sensitive and just looks like a scar. My questions are am I using my breast pump wrong? From what I have researched and seen I use it how I'm supposed to. Do I need to call my doctor. They hurt so bad to the point that barely touching them makes me cry. I use lanolin regularly and after every pump session. I'm just at a loss. Anya advice would be appreciated. ❤

*UPDATE*

I dont really know if its needed or if anyone really wanted a follow up. But here it goes anyway 🤷🏿‍♀️ I called our local lactation service and they suggest I come to a group that they have on mondays and wednesdays. I really enjoyed it and learned alot about what my issue was. Apparently she is more than sure that I have yeast or thrush and that's what's causing all of my issues. I had the right size flanges and was doing everything right. Yay me! So I just hopefully have to get rid of the infection and it should get better :) thanks for all the advice ladies, I used a lot of the help you gave me.❤
