Sore nipples? Tell me it gets better...

Question

Unable to latch but I'm pumping.... day 5 of pumping and omg, they feel raw/sore. How long before it gets better???

Answer

A great way of helping the soreness is to place some breast milk on your nipples and test it dry. It has excellent healing properties

Answer

You could check your flange size too. The wrong size can make it harder

Answer

You should develop a wet callous after 1-2 weeks and then you’ll feel much better.  Good luck and power through xx. It sucks but you can do it!

Answer

It will get better. If feels like it won’t but it will. I would sit there and cry while feeding my baby. I had to pump just to get a brake so opposite but the same. Give it two months.
