sore boobs!
Breastfeeding, such a beautiful thing and a brilliant bonding time with your little one. But how the heck do i ease the pain of my breasts? Any suggestions??
alright just making sure, latching is fine, just wanted to know how long approxmately they stay so sore for. I remember being in pain with my first son from breastfeeding just forgot how long. Lol so thank you
ensure that you have a proper latch. If you aren't sure how to do this, consult with a lactation specialist. You will be sore the first several days as your milk comes in and your boobs become engorged, but the more often baby feeds, the easier it will become. If you have a proper latch and are still in pain, you might want to be checked for thrush. 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.
