[quote=Anonymous]Title sums it up. Backstory: I have always had extremely sensitive nipples from onset of puberty. They get aggravated and irritated if stimulated for too long. They will start to feel sore and bruised ( without a visible bruise) and it becomes painful. They are also flat and not very large. Breastfeeding has been very harsh and painful. I've had to use cold/hot heating pads 24/7 almost. I'm EBF a tiny new human ( my first time) and it has been difficult. I feel like I'm constantly sore/in pain. He's almost 2 weeks old and I nurse him so long/so often that I feel I might have a breakdown if things don't get better. He's eating roughly 10-12 times a day for 20-45 minutes at a time. I pump 2-3 times a day, on top of nursing, because I make a lot of milk. Pumping has been more comfortable for me, but it's so time consuming. I've been to multiple ILBCS and they all say give it time, but I feel this won't get better given my history. I don't want to give up on breastfeeding, I just want to make it more comfortable.
