Pain while nursing/ pumping

[Leanna5813]

I noticed that when I nurse my son my nipples are sore at first but the pain usually subsides, but when I pump the pain just gets worse and worse. Anyone else dealing with this and what can be done to make it more bearable?

I will try there too, but I was asking here because the pain didn't start until I got pregnant again.

Unfortunately this is normal. It's just the hormones causing sensitivity in your nipples. Pumps are a little rougher than baby (usually) so that's probably why it hurts more to pump. I am only 4 weeks 4 days but I'm also breastfeeding my daughter. I'm not in any pain yet but am expecting that to come soon.

Mine are definitely tender, normally I have very little feeling in them unless Vincent bites me lol!

I can't pump when I'm pregnant. Within a couple of weeks of being pregnant, if not less, my let down just completely disappears. Generally I found nipple pain goes towards the end of the first tri.
