I had really painful sore nipples that bled and pieces of the nipple came off especially on the right boob so I started using a nipple shield and it felt better and my nipples started to heal and i've been using the shields everytime LO feeds but recently i've been getting alot of burning on both boobs in different places after a few minutes of feeding and it burns so bad that i have to take him off of boob and put him on the other side.
I told my doc and she said it sounds like i have blocked ducts and its probably because of using the shields!! so yesterday I feed him several times with out the shields and it hurts SOOO bad.. I got blisters on the right side and a crack on the left side already and can't stand the pain! I have been using Lansinoh all along.
am I going to have to wait another 6-8 weeks from now for them to get better and for the pain to ease as if we just started again?? I am so upset with myself for using the shields and being dependant on them but the pain is what caused me to exclusively pump with my first and i didn't want to do that again
