sore breast

My left breast is so sore & when LO gets on it feels like me nipple is being ripped off!!  But once he gets started it's less painful and just tender.  I've checked his latch a bunch of times and as far as I can tell he;s latching on correctly.  Any ideas what the problem is?

Re: sore breast

  • Sounds like it might be a plug.  Soy Lecithin granules 3400-4800mg a day (broken up in equal doses), a warm moist compress before you nurse, and trying to start on that breast until the plug is dislodged should help.
