sore breasts breastfeeding

So, obviously, we have been bottle feeding. Now that my milk has come in my breasts are really sore and heavy.. Does anyone have any suggestions to help ease the pain? Thank you.

Anyone else have sore breasts & sometimes dull ache from breast to armpit; very uncomfortable at times. What have you done to help?

Which is basically a yeast infection that babies can get in their mouths and pass on to your breasts during nursing. Breastfeeding IS uncomfortable in the beginning but most women are able to perservere and get past that after the first few weeks.

The only help I know to do is have a hot shower, or put something warm or hot on your breasts. The pain and discomfort should go away after you get used to breastfeeding and everything. But thats the only help I know to offer. Sorry! But I hope it gets better for you.

Cabbage!! Wrap the leaves around your breasts it helps with the pain, swelling and helps the milk dry up if your not planning on breastfeeding.

Ladies need advice again,well since last night my breasts have become extremly painful and large.that part i like the pain i dont,how long does it take for pain to go awy.after giving birth.its horrible as i find it difficult to hold jay against me,please say only few days.im not breast feeding.any info be appreciated.

I agree it shouldn't hurt if the baby has a proper latch. it can be a bit uncomfortable when your breasts are full and the baby first begins to suck, but as soon as milk begins to let down the discomfort should ease. I honestly believe that smaller breasts are an advantage while breastfeeding. I have (now)36EE's and while BFing I had FF's...so trying to maneuver the nipple was difficult and it was almost easy to move baby around to fit the nipple instead of vice versa...

Has anyone gotten pregnant while breastfeeding? If so, did your breasts hurt similar to being pregnant the first time?

Hello, I'm new here. This is my first pregnancy, and I am exactly 32 weeks. While my mom was pregnant, her breasts gained 3 cup sizes. Mine have not grown at all; they haven't even really been sore. They also are not producing any colostrum. I'm interested in trying breastfeeding, but I was wondering if my lack of growth may mean my body is not producing anything?

Recently BEEN pregnant? Breastfeeding? Just stopped breastfeeding? Do your breasts usually get sore right before your periods? Is this soreness something you've never had before it began 3-4 months ago? When was your last mammogram? Lots of questions that may or may not have any bearing on your symptoms. Sore breasts just before a period is very common. Sore breast for months is not. Pregnancy can wreck havoc with our breasts as can starting or stopping breasfeeding.

I started having white crusty stuff then clear fluid when I was around 20 weeks. It was only now and then but then progressed and I leaked a small bit a couple weeks before delivery. I know production starts early. Makes sense since our breasts are soooo sore then lol. Some women don't leak or show signs at all until baby is born and that's normal too.

i'm 26 weeks pregnant and have noticed that my left breast leaked twice while i was sleeping. i think it might be from one of my four cats stepping on my boob but i'm not sure. last night, i lifted up my boob after taking off my bra and a bit of clear liquid came out. it had a dot of white in the center but it was mostly clear. is this normal? is it my milk coming in?

my breast are killing me, they are so sore,especially d left one. even when im trying massaging them,d lump that formed doesnt seem to go away.....does anyone have tips????

In my 7 months of breastfeeding my baby, I went to the doctor twice because my breasts became tender and whenever breast milk comes out, my breast felt sore. The first time I went to the doctor, she gave me antibiotics and my breasts became normal. 2 weeks ago, I felt that my breast is painful again. I went to the doctor and gave me antibiotics again. And now, I feel it again. I can also feel some lumps and my right boob is painful again. Could this be mastitis or a more serious condition?

Try putting a heating pad on your breasts, once you stop breastfeeding they trend to hurt for a week or two until it dries up and you stop producing

Hi, I'm 6 weeks 2 days pregnant with my 1st and suffering with really sore nipples. Does anyone have any tips to help ease this please.

My breasts swelled Up with milk after my son but dried up after a week they hurt though

I was one that was not so lucky and got stretch marks. I have lost 32 of the 63 lbs that I gained with breastfeeding. I was wanting to hear stories of how your breastfeeding affected your boobs. I am grateful for my little guy and want to give him the best possible and I am not too terribly concerned with how I will look after but I just wanted to know if I have any possibility of having attractive boobs after I quit breastfeeding.

I couldn't sleep all night my breasts are super sore & they cause me a lot of pain what can I do?

how do u relieve engorged breasts. I'm 30 wks 4 days. n I'm nt leakin milk or anything yet. my boobs are jus so swollen n sore. idk wa to do.

Yes for me, it took about 3 months before I was completely pain free with my first baby (6 weeks very sore) and for my second it took about 6 weeks to be completely pain free (about 2 weeks very sore). But even the very sore weeks with my second kid weren't as bad as the first at all. My first had a much stronger suck though, so maybe that contributed too...

I'm exclusively breastfeeding and for the past two days my breasts have been soooooo sore. They feel really heavy and a bit achy but not engorged. And it's my breasts not the nipples. They get more sore when I do bf and they hurt to the touch. Has anyone else experiened this or know of something I can do to relieve it. I almost want to cry whenever I feed my baby.

I was having trouble breast feeding these last two days but I got it now. Nipples are still sore and feel dry. What can I do to make them feel the way they did before..??

This time around I am in so much pain I almost had to go buy formula last night because my nipples are so sore and my breasts are so engorged. I had to feed her last night and I cried through the whole thing because it felt like my nipples were on fire. There are red blood blisters at the tips. Does anyone know how long engorgement lasts?

I have oral herpes and am wondering if I can pass it on to my girlfriend by kissing her breasts while I have a cold sore? If so, can she then pass it along to our baby through breastfeeding? How can we minimize the likelihood of transmission to our baby through breastfeeding. thank you for your response!

When you have your baby does your breasts go back to the size they were pre pregnancy?
