Yes I've been browsing the BF section, there is a lot of good information out there. I'm trying to stay motivated but it's definitely hard. I did get some Lansinoh cream and some soothie gel pads and my nipples have definitely healed quite a bit!

Yeah it's definitely hard sometimes, there were many times with both my girls that I thought why on earth am I doing this to myself, BUT it does get so so so much easier and it is so rewarding I'm always here if you need motivation xxx

I'm sorry I haven't much advice for you but I can offer you tons of sympathy and because I go through the same thing. I just grit my teeth...
My midwives did say we could take paracetamol but I don't bother with that.
Are you using a nipple balm after each feed? I use lanolin free bio-fem (when i remember, which is rare) and I've found a good nipple sheild (eg medela) can help a little also.
Also, if you squash your boob a bit so you can get more of it into your little one's mouth then the nipple hurts far less as it starts off further in.

I do massage the breast first, I now have these gel soothie pads that feel like HEAVEN. I use coconut oil when I remember and it has helped a ton! I just have to get past the first few minutes

 

[readyORnot]

I'm off to amazon.co.uk to check out those gel pads!

 

[frisbeemama12]

they are awesome, I got the Lansinoh brand gel pads

 

[afisppq]

The soothies are amazing! You can use the lanolin with the gel pads, that helped heal a lot!
