Okay ladies.. for those of us NOT breastfeeding (I attempted it, just not working-go ahead & flame away...) when do your boobs stop hurting? Weeks? Months?

TIA!

Mine took two weeks to stop hurting completely.  It is heavenly.

Mine hurt REALLY bad for a day then they were just sore for about a week. I put ice packs on them twice a day and took ibuprofen and it helped.

I tried w/ DD 1 and it didn't work for us. I didn't have a huge amount of pain and it lasted for maybe 2-3 weeks. At the time I remember hearing something about cabbage leaves helping. Sticking them in your bra or something. That was 2.5 years ago so I'm forgetting but you could try looking it up.

This just confirms what I already suspected.  I tried breast feeding but my milk never came in.  DD is over 4 weeks and my ladies haven't hurt yet! :-(  Does anyone know that if BFing didn't work for your first child, does that mean it will never work for any other children?

Even if it doesn't work with the first it can still work the 2nd time around. If you are having trouble with your milk coming in you can try fenugreek supplements and mothers milk tea both available at walmart.
