It still hurts?

[JayleighAnn]

It still hurts when he latches on, as far as I know his latch is fine and HV agreed so I don't understand? Is it still meant to hurt 2 weeks into feeding?

with me and harry it took about 6-7 weeks until it all settled down and stopped hurting, if your latch is fine then it should seetle soon, most people allow about 6 weeks for it all to become fine x

It still hurts me hun, not as much but its definitely uncomfy for the first minute

Yeah - give it a bit longer for your nipples to 'toughen up' - not literally BTW....

If it only hurts for the first 10/20 seconds or so, it's fine and wont last much longer

[Mervs Mum]

Well thats a positive sign hun.

 

[JayleighAnn]

I'm glad lol I can't wait for it to stop hurting, its really bloody painful!

 

[Mervs Mum]

You are doing really well hun. This is the point lots of mums give up and I'm sure you can see why! I dont think it will be long before you start to see a real improvement

I still occasionally get a toe curling moment with harry.... sometimes he will catch me wrong and it makes me shudder the way he latches!!!

I don't know what Halen did the other night but it made my arm and hand twitch lol it felt really weird!!

It was somewhere between 2-3 weeks before it stopped hurting for me.

I remember in the hospital when they described it as 'toe curling' and that it would only last a few a days, to me it actually felt like having a piece of glass shoved through my nipple!

I can see why a lot of people give up as if they are telling people like me in hospital it only hurts for a few days and then two weeks down the line they are still in agony. If it hadn't been for copius amounts of nipple cream, shields, shells, pumping and paracetamol I don't think id of stuck it out. I could open a shop with the amount of stuff ive got here.

Well done for fighting through it, its hard work but worth it when you come through the other side.

I still get it, especially when Marley is having a clingy day/night that's when mine really start to hurt again. But it's definitely not as bad as it was the first 1-2 weeks

 

[mrsholmes]

[JayleighAnn]
