Nipple pain?

[violet13]

Hi ladies, I've found today my breasts ache and my nipples are absolutely killing me!! I've tried everything so far I can think of, anyone else got some handy tips for it? I don't know why now tbh been leaking for a while but had tender boobs in 1st and early 2nd trimesters xxx

Hormones... They have so much to answer for!!

 

[violet13]

We don't half go through it don't we? Then again I wanted this haha so my own fault. My mum said cold cabbage leaves help? Xxx

 

[Mary Poppins]

Oh yes I think they do with mastitis? Can't do any harm... Except for making you look a little like a nutter haha!! We do ask for it, and would prob do it all over again! X

 

[violet13]

I'm probably going to go through this all over again too haha I'll see how I feel after DS is here first. I just dislike how much of a cow I've become while being pregnant xxx

This is my second but I still may do it again. When baby arrives every day with them is so amazing I feel I would do it all 100x over if I had to!

Hormones are hard work, I bite my tongue a lot and just let anything negative to anyone wash away over time.... Seems easier than constantly fighting x

I have no advice but I feel you. Mine hurt too. Ouchy. Xxx

You think they hurt now! Wait till you Breast feed ( if that's a choice your making )

Cabbage leafs are good for engouraged and sore boobs while BF

Oh god how bad is it when breast feeding? I do want to try it but if baby can't get the latch or I haven't got enough he's onto a bottle so neither of us get stressed or upset. I've noticed if I take 5 mins to count out in my head I can calm down if that fails I sit outside and just wait till it passes and then I'll read a book xxx

Mine are agony. And my nipples are sooo itchy but it hurts too much to scratch! O god when the milk comes in the pain is horrendous. I couldnt imagine BF. I couldnt even touch them lol xx

I've got serious itchy nip. I find lansinoh is the only thing to soothe it (I had some from when I was feeding Bear)

 

[MummyBee]

Oh i might need to invest in some of that. They never seem to give me a break. Its bloody awfu! Im ready for tearing my hair out xx

I got some cream too so much better still a bit sore but definitely eased off xxx
