Hey guys...I've been breastfeeding for 3
months now and it has been going great!
For the past 3 days now, my left nipple is
extremely sore when he nurses! I know it
isn't a clogged milk duct or anything (at
least .I think not), because the breast
isn't sore itself. It's just the nipple.
It doesn't seem like it's too red or
anything but it .R.E.A.L.L.Y hurts and
burns when he nurses from that side, to
the point where .I'm close to tears! Any
suggestions to help ease this or any idea
what could be causing it?
Steph, maybe he's not attached to the
nipple the way he use to be. Have you
noticed any change in his feedings?
I know there's cream you can buy for sore,
cracked nipples.

Thanks .Michelle. :d I haven't really
noticed any difference in his feedings.
I've been using the cream they gave me at
the hospital when .I had him but it
doesn't seem to be helping too much.
Maybe a little. I guess .I'll call the
doctor if it doesn't get better soon.
I never got nipple cream from the
hospital! They ripped me off lol

I think of hospitals the same way as I
think of hotels. If it's free, I *want*
*it*.
I got two thermometers, and I didn't care.
I got an ugly diaper bag, even though I
have a cute one at home, and I didn't
care. If I can have it, give it to me!
Hospitals charge way too much for
ridiculous things to *not* give us
stuff!
Take *two* tubes of cream, .Michelle!
Make up for last time!
i'm going to ask for some when I go in. I
know .Brian will stuff them some where if
he gets his hands on 'em......... I'll
take 3 lol
