  • So, this might belong in stupid questions thread, but I'll try here first. Is it possible for your nipples to be too cracked/torn up during your first week of breast feeding? I'm worries mine look too bad....but I have nothing to compare it to. I've had multiple nurses & lactation consultants check my latches while at the hospital or at drs appointments, but it's making me nervous seeing these raw red nipple tips. Or is this just normal and it goes away when you get used to breast feeding?
  • You're much smarter than I am, @ebie79‌. I wish I had done that :(
  • @rockstarlaw‌ I have no idea if it's normal, but mine did the same thing. They seemed to have like a red stripe on the tip, and then they scabbed over after a couple days. Her latch was terrible though. It's only just gotten better in the past 5-7 days. It took my nipples over a week to heal. Use lanolin religiously!

  • Whew. Ok, thanks ladies! I feel so much better!!
  • I've been using the Motherlove nipple cream like it's going out of style. It does help, but I've used almost a whole container in 1 week! Haha!

  • I'm seriously jealous of how all your DHs stepped up for Mother's Day... I am going to strangle mine if I hear him say how tired he is one more time. Screw him and his 10 hours of sleep last night!!! We've now had two bad sleep nights in a row followed by two busy days so I am so beat! Ugh
    Oh and my Mother's Day gift? A card that he ran out and got today after church as an afterthought. At least I got a flower at church from a stranger....

    Mine are red, scabbed, left one was bruised and constantly "at attention". I use coconut oil and lanolin after every feeding. Day 8 for me :)

    I am right there with you, but I am lucky if I get ten minutes.  It is usually just enough time for me to lay down and start to nod off before the fussing/crying starts.

    Awesome prophetic fortune cookie: Love is a present that can be given every single day you live

  • Happy Anniversary @Teresa1896! Hubster and I are celebrating 2 years today and we ALSO went out for a sushi dinner (Did it last week while my folks were here so we could have a real live adult date). 

    Hoping the anniversary keeps hubster's anxiety at bay. He's back at work after a fairly good weekend but left with elevated anxiety levels. Keeping fingers crossed for a good day. I can't stand the idea of fighting today.

  • i'd like to know who took my "sleep for 5.5 hr" infant and replaced him with "fussy-i'm not gonna sleep and you can't make me-you aren't getting sleep either! haha" infant. guess that really was my mother's day present :/

    i'd also like to know why it takes 20+ minutes to burp this guy. and why i woke up to "omg im gonna die" cramps and more bleeding. i'm so over it
