breast

Avatar f tn If your nipple is cracked, express some of breastmilk ont o your nipple and rub it in. Breastmilk does wonders.
Avatar f tn thank you so I'm going to have to invest in nipple guards.
Avatar f tn It takes time but you dont want to keep latching improperly or youll be in a lot of pain to where u will want to stop. Nipple shields are great to use and walmart sells them. Also nipple gel pads are great to soothe them if u put in the fridge.
Avatar f tn Breast feeding should never be painful. If it is it's cos of a bad latch. The best advice for latching I got was do not bend over baby (really bad for latch and your back). Bring baby to you and support with pillows. Practice makes perfect. The first 2 weeks are the hardest but after that it's a breeze. Try many different kinds of positions. My favorite was side laying in bed but that takes practice after you get good at latching.
Avatar f tn Congrats on breastfeeding at all. Its a wonderful experience once you get past the pain of it. For mommy and baby.
Avatar f tn As for the pain But you are doing a great job by exclusively breastfeeding your child its one of the best things you can do for your childs health just keep going dont give up i promise it gets easier as the time goes by
Avatar f tn I used a few creams and I also used nipple guards on and off wen in too much pain. Some ppl aren't a fan but my son had no problems with them and they help ALOT!!!
Avatar f tn What I did to prepare my breast for breastfeeding was squeezing the nipple and playing with my breast. I also bought this cream that u apply onto the breast it's made for breastfeeding it helps heal your nipple you can use it during pregnancy as well. I know this one may be kinda weird but I asked my bf to suck on my nipple and I would already start to use the breast pump I know you won't get anything out of it but it helps prepare for the sensation and pain.
4165941 tn?1353988628 I'm really skeptical on breastfeeding because of the pain nd I jus think it would be uncomfortable, I jus wanted to know the alternatives. isn't there some type of nipple ring or nipple cover? Nd also if I did breastfeed it would only be for like a month, wats the easiest way to transfer baby to the bottle?
Avatar f tn says and see if the medication he may or may not give you is safe will breastfeeding. Use ice or cold pack for pain and if you can take ibuprofen for swelling. It is hard to know what this is until someone sees it. Is it bleeding, cracked? Do you see any reddened areas? How long have you been breastfeeding and how often do you feed?
Avatar f tn Lumps during breastfeeding may be caused by blockage of ducts which carry the milk from deep in the breast to the nipple openings. Milk that builds up behind the blockage causes the lumps and makes the breast sore. Warm compress may help provide relief. Gently massage the lump toward the nipple during and after feeding and cold packs after a feed may help relieve pain and inflammation.
Avatar f tn 15 weeks and I have the worst nipple pain!!! They are so sensitive and R hard as rocks! I really want to Breast feed but without it being sucked on it hurts like hell already! Lol. I can't imagine Breast feeding and having twice the pain! Anyone else going through this?
Avatar f tn No bad input please so I'm 35 weeks and I am so determined to be successful with breast feeding. What helped you make breastfeeding a success? & also did you try nipple shields? How'd it work for you?
Avatar f tn Does anyone else have sore nipples after breastfeeding...any suggestions please...
Avatar f tn What sort of pain are you getting? I still get pain when he first latches cos he's pulling my nipple out further. If you don't have pain when he's sucking he's latched right, you'll still be able to feel him sucking. If it does hurt, get your pinky finger and feel for your nipple in his mouth and pull it out and try latching again.
Avatar f tn Just wondering if the nipple shield is a good thing to use when you first have the baby
Avatar f tn Good luck also if its dry try lanolin nipple creme its safe for baby to nurse even when its still on your nipple
Avatar f tn I really want to try breastfeeding my baby, it didn't work with my first one, but I am determined to do it this time.
1092854 tn?1292620351 I have just noticed a dime size red spot just to the right of the nipple and its feeling warm to the touch. the pain is much worse when the nipple gets hard (cold). Im not sure if I just some how irritated it or if I should be seen??? I just had a breast exam last week. Does this sound like something I should be worried about or get seen??
3169623 tn?1371168580 Nipple sheild helps wonders with the pain all baby stores have them. gor mine at babies r us for like $10.
8778737 tn?1413827423 I'm in so much pain.. My manual pump hurts me... My milk supply came in so fast... Lol... Could ibuprofen help with the little pains? Lol... I'm sorry! I just had my son Sunday.. Lol. Also, I had a question about after pregnancy.... How normal is it to be extremely swollen. I am just now... (Tmi) able to pee without pain.. And there's no much blood.
Avatar f tn When i breastfeed my baby i would let her come to my breast and find the nipple they do a bobbing tell they find it and make sure babys mouth is open wide so u can fit the whole brown part of ur breast in there mouth its not the nipple that they latch to thats what causes the pain hope this helped
