BFing mommas

Do your boobs just constantly hurt or remain in a constant state of uncomfort? I expected it to hurt at first but it has been 3 weeks of uncomfort. I didn't expect this. Even when I am not nursing, they just seem to ache. Between the fullness, letdowns, and nipple pain, I just don't see how I can keep this up...

    Have you talked with a lactation consultant?

    I do not ache unless lo is overdue for a feeding.  I did have a clogged duct over the weekend and that hurt like he!!.  Make sure baby is latched on properly and then after the first few sucks it shouldn't hurt at all.  I am not an expert though so maybe it does hurt more for some people.  I would definitely contact the LC at your hospital or La Leche League in your area and get some help.  Hang in there!

    They only like for the first days. They get a little tender in the morning when I'm really full and ds has to eat. Also my nipples get a little sore when he's going through a growth spurt and wants to eat every hour and a half. Other then that though they do not hurt. I'd talk with your doctor or a lactation consultant.

    My boobs are a bit tender still and the nipples hurt quite a bit. My LO is over 3 weeks old. I think it's different for everyone. I've heard from many women that they were in pain and discomfort for a while. It's always good to talk to a LC but you may just be more sensitive...

    My boobs can be tender, but it's not always. My nipples still hurt, but that is due to a horrible latch early on and they just haven't healed. At least they stopped bleeding with every feed!
