Soreness!!

So I have been BFing for a while now and I still have sore nipples. How long does this last? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

With my first, they stayed sensitive for several weeks, but they weren't really sore, per se. If my bra rubbed therm, they hurt, and the shower spray felt like acid rain, and nursing hurt for the first few sucks. But it for better I think after the first month or two.

They've only hurt for the first couple of days with my second and third.

At what store did you purchase that ointment?

Every day is a little better. We are at 4 weeks. Showers no longer sting but I still hate anything but a nursing pad touching my nipples. Thank you for asking as I was wondering the same thing!

I'm almost 6 weeks and breastfeeding just recently became comfortable for me. It still hurts the first couple of sucks, but otherwise, it's fine. Outside of feedings, I'm no longer sensitive to water in the shower, but it hurts like heck to towel off after. And I'm still sensitive to clothing touching my nipples.

I'm almost 4 weeks and it still hurts pretty badly (especially at first) every time I nurse

bah I'm 7 weeks and they are still really sensitive.  I can't remember how long it took with my first but this seems worse this time around.  Or maybe the lack of sleep made me forget.

We are almost six weeks, and one side just recently became painful with the first few sucks... Anyone experience this too?
