Nipples not cracked, just sensitive what to do

[monte3375]

At 6.5 weeks and nipples are super sensitive but not cracked.

It seems to happen when I add in pumping in the day. What should I do to calm them down...

I want to build up a stash.

Is it only when you pump? Are your nipple shields the proper size? If they're a bit too small, it may be contributing to it! The ones that come with the pump are "medium", and are the standard size that come with pumps. I had to go to an XL for my nipples size before pumping stopped hurting. Maybe try getting some larger shields and see if that helps?
