My baby is 17 days old and it's still hard! My nipples hurt so bad. Even with a nipple shield because my nipples are flat. I've done lanolin and coconut oil and still bothering me. When will it get better? I'm resting them for a little and just pumping for her. I knew it would be hard ..but ugh this is torture. I'm not against formula, and she has received it already before , but I would really like her to get a couple weeks of my milk. She also sleeps better during the day..and doesn't seem to like being flat in bassinet compared to when she is on lounger or momma roo during the day. I shed some frustration tears this morning for the first time because I think her belly was hurting overnight and feel guilty it may have been something I ate. Ok I'm done..praying for better nights to come
