Hello everyone! Finally got my baby to latch after 3 weeks (that's how old he is) and I have been pumping to keep my supply in. My nipples are really sore from the pumping and they are extemely sore when he nurses. I am using lanonin cream and that has seemed to help the cracking. Also, I am using breast cups to prevent my nipples from rubbing against my bra. I think baby has a good latch. His lips are all around my nipple and areola, and I make sure to stick in the nipple when his mouth is really wide open. Why is it so painful? When do they get usee to being nursed? This is a completely different experience than with my first (I needed nipple shields for her, but baby boy won't use them). Thank you!
