Sore nipples pumping
Common Questions and Answers about Sore nipples pumping
sore
my baby is 2 1/2 weeks old and though i am only pumping because she is not latching, my nipples are no longer sore... or i should say they no longer hurt... they are a bit sore from the pumpimg but very manageable... however the first week and a half my nipples got so sore and raw i had pieces of skin come off and they bled (tmi sorry), so i would say give it a couple more days and see if it gets better... lanolin helped a lot... and so did hot water compresses... as well as letting them air...
If you can keep it up for a couple weeks your nipples will toughen up and it won't hurt. I'm breastfeeding my third child currently and I've had sore nipples with every one of them. I honestly dont know anyone who breastfed and didnt get sore nipples. After you nurse put lanolin on them or express a little milk, rub it on and then let them air dry.
I used to pump for 20 to 30 mins per session. And due to that, I think my nipples got cracked and was very sore and swollen. I stopped pumping for 2 months. Today, I started again, and I noticed blood in milk only on one breast (breast which had cracked)
I'm worried. The milk is coming out clear when I squeeze my breast
But I don't see any crack on my nipples. So idk where the blood is coming from. Is it something to worry?
TMI. Am I the only mommy that rubs my nipples in a circular motion then squeeze a little then back to rubbing. Because my nipples been so sore can I start pumping I'm 38+1, I'm not having any leakage though....
To be honest, breast feeding only hurts in the beginning and really only did with my first son who latched incorrectly at first. My nipples got very sore. But then once he was latching properly, it was fine. It never hurt with my second son.
Pumpking doesn't hurt but isn't exactly comfortable either. It's really kind of strange until you get used to it, this machine pumping your nipples. I didn't love pumping but did it. I did love breast feeding.
When my little man was about 6 months old a lump came up and not long after I pumped blood in the milk a few times. I thought it was because of my nipples being sore. When my little man was about 18 months I had mastitis. When I went in for a yearly pap they were going to schedule me for a mammogram but didn’t because I was pumping. They said that the results wouldn’t have been accurate to determine what the lump was because of producing milk.
/ I tried pumping them out but still no luck! Any help please?
And since babys not breastfeeding my boobs are huge and so sore to the point I cant move or sleep,they hurt so bad!
Just keep pumping, it will help keep your milk production up. Also try the Medela nipple cream. I LOVE it, I'm using it now while pregnant because my nipples are so sore. And like a previous poster said, my son did just fine going back and forth between bottle and breast. When they realize it's the same milk they take to it fine. Just get her tongue cut and she will be fine in a day or two!
You can also let the girls out to breathe and put lanolin or rub breast milk on the nipples to help. Can you pump from the right and whats he reason you can give from that one? You can also hand express for a little relief if you dont have a pump. We also have a very helpful breastfeeding forum that can help.
and have had severe headaches and body aches! my nipples are sore from pumping so I wouldtn know if that is a sign of pregnancy! its frustrating - i finally got back to feeling semi normal after birth and sleepless nights - now i feel as though i might be pregnant again. ANY SUGGESTIONS!?? i am freaking out!
I would not try pumping before birth but nipple stimulation maybe by hubs. Nothing guarentees that anything youbtry will start labor but you dont want to mess up your nipples by pumping because it hurts before your milk comes in.
I had a friend who had inverted nipples so her baby wouldn't latch correctly. All she did was pump. I think she made it to 6months.
Make sure the flanges are the right size, my nipples were so sore and I found out I was using the wrong size! I would recommend seeing a lactaion consultant soon after and take your pump with you! Check with your insurance to see if they cover one. Lansinoh is a great brand for bags pads and ointment! I tried every breast pad til I found one that I liked! Good luck with everything! Always ask for help if you need it and don't give up!
Awesome thanks!
for past few days, I was getting pain. It felt like My nipples were sore. But last night, my nipples were very painful and I saw few cracks on them. Also, they were puffy from some places. The shape got somewhat back to normal but it still hurts when my shirt touches it. At first they were burning but now it feels very sensitive and painful.
Every time I feed my baby it hurts so bad I feel like im in labor, I had her on sunday.. its all sore n crack n hurts like hell I dont know what else to use I already got the hydrogel they dont seem to help much.. I stop breastfeeding her but I do pump on low level. I would love to just feed her instead of pump as pumping will end up drying my milk :(
Thanks for ur help!!
Any new moms having problems with breastfeeding? My daughter is 2 weeks old and my milk supply is still low when I pump it's only 1oz from both breast sometimes less so I had to put her on formula which breaks my heart because I wanted to exclusively breastfeed for 3 months and then do both when I go back to work but I had no choice.
