My mom told me to roughen up my nipples to prep for breast feeding. I have those exfoliating shower gloves and sometimes (not often) when I'm in the shower, I put them on and rub my nipples for as long as I can stand it, which is probably less than a minute. It hurts! They're super sensitive!
This is my first. Any experienced breast feeders out there who can tell me if I should keep doing this? I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. How much should I do it to be adequately prepared?

This. Along with everyone else who said something similar. Yes, it hurts at first. I remember being in a ton of pain. But then you both get used to it and figure it out. Please stop.
If things constantly hurt, seek professional help with evaluating baby's latch or other issues.
