Strange question - ticklish nipples and breastfeeding!

[asacia]

Just wondered if any of you ladies had experience of this?

I've got really ticklish nipples, any touch by another person has me in fits of giggles.

Will this be a problem when I'm breastfeeding? Am I going to have to sit there trying not to laugh while I'm feeding?

Anything I can do to reduce this?

I have a similar problem....anything touching mine goes right through me and I hate it

I wondered if it would affect me breastfeeding but when baby latches on the breast it doesn't tickle or irritate as it's very firm (if that makes any sense?)...I successfully breastfed my 3 children and intend on breastfeeding Smudge too



Good luck babe

I am the same if even anythig chafs my nipples it drives me mad. Sometimes they hurt even when i wasnt preg so I dont know what breatfeeding is going to be like but i am dreading it.

i have extremely sensitive nipples and worried about this too first time round but i sucessfully breastfed my daughter without a problem, i think it's like what Hevz says, when baby latches on its firm and you are aware baby is feeding but its not sore or ticklish - you just have to ensure baby latches on correctly

I have ticklish nipples too, I thought I was alone! The sucking kind of stops it? I can't explain it
