Hey mommas!

I am almost 3 weeks PP. My little girl struggled with latching and we never got a successful latch so I have been exclusively pumping since I had her. I have a 17 month old as well so I knew from the beginning this wouldn’t be long term, I was just taking it day by day. My nipples have constantly been uncomfortable, cracked and bleeding from pumping so often. I decided to only pump 2-3 times a day and that was going great but I had some mild burning in my nipples that turned into the worst pain and turns out I have thrush. I’m so over being uncomfortable all the time so I decided to just quit. I’m 36 hours in and I’m so MISERABLE. I’ve read tons of articles, I’m doing the cabbage leaves, ice, ibuprofen/Motrin but is there anything else you guys did that helped you I could be missing? Also how long did it last before you got some relief? If you hung around through all that THANKS SO MUCH for listening. 🥴🤣
