ita - pumping also sucks in its own way. no one told me BFing would be so hard. it is way harder than the pg, the labor, anything else. [ Reply | More

i had someone come to my house with #1 and then had three visits with the lac. consultant in the hospital this time around. I'll plan to go back again My boobs are huge and so are my nipples (which is helpful when ds has a bigger mouth) so I don't think he can fit a lot of it in his mouth to latch properly [ Reply | More

How about saline water on them? This helped me. And I also felt that feeding while definitely hurt, also helps heal them somehow?! [ Reply | More
