Breastfeeding question

sometimes after i breastfeed or somewhere in between feedings i experience this tingling/burning sensation in my breast, almost inside my nipple. sometimes it is uncomfortable...i do not have any pain when feeding though...anyone else have this and if so, what the heck is it? also...will my boobs always be so tender or does that go away after awhile??

    Looks like our babes have the same birthday! I am having the same issue as you describe - but only in my left breast. That's the breast that has been engorged a couple of times though, so I am chalking it up to that. I also have no pain while he's eating - so I don't think there is any issue. I heard that the tenderness can come and go for the first 3 months. Good luck!

    Your probably still getting use to breastfeeding.  Your tenderness will go away after a while it might get worse before it gets better so be prepared with lanolin and hot showers.  Your other sensation might be from a let down or you filling back up again preparing to feed again.  I remember having that and it was me filling up.

    I usually get this feeling when i am having a let down. I always begin to leak shortly after so I just pump when I get this sensation and it goes away.

    I still have that feeling once in a while. Mostly after he is done eating..when I am exposed to air. I talked to a LC today and she said it is normal to have some pain/sensitivity still. Congrats on your baby!

    My LO is 8 weeks.. oh 9 weeks tomorrow.  Yes, the burning tingling, I still get it.  The LC said it is usually your breast filling up, sometimes it can be an additional let down... no worries.  The soreness, I still have sensitivity at first latch but goes away almost instantly.  Just always ensure you have a good latch, and if your LO doesn't, relatch until he gets it right, otherwise your setting yourself up for failure or pain in the future...

    I don't know about you guys but one of the things that hurts most is when I'm cold and my nipples get hard - OUCH!  I have to keep the bedroom extra warm just to keep my nipples from getting hard on me.
