Constantly erect nipples ?

[TTCBean]

Weird question, but are nipples of women who are breastfeeding ALWAYS hard? Since I started BF my LO they've been constantly erect and it plain ol hurts! They never go back to 'normal'. They get bent in my shirt and everything, it sucks! Any way to combat this? Will they go down after I'm doing BFing?

Anyone? I can't believe nobody has input!

Mine are the same. They get all squashed and bent over!

Mine aren't always 100% erect, but they are always a bit harder than they used to be. Also, the only time I have pain besides when she's first latching on is when they get hard from being cold! LOL

Mine are still pretty tiny and flat. I wish they were a bit harder and more erect, LO wouldn't have to work so hard at latching...perhaps after we BF for a while they will stay up.

This may sound weird, but I remember my mom's were always large and erect and hard, after she breastfed 3 kids....I mean I don't know what they looked like before because I wasn't around, but...
