[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nipple shield for during nursing. They aren’t ideal but you can totally use them indefinitely. Silverettes are silver cups that you wear when not nursing. I never tried them but heard they help. If you start getting cracked nipples ask for a prescription for APNO ointment. It’s a prescription that needs to be compounded but it works. You can have your baby assessed for a tongue tie to make sure that’s not causing extra pain. Time may also help. I had extreme pain from breast surgery and it got better by month two. Everything got better by month two. I know that’s not super helpful now but know that how it is now isn’t how it will always be![/quote] OP here. Unfortunately my baby will not nurse with a nipple shield. He also does not take a bottle well. Multiple IBLCE’s said he does not have a tongue tie or latch issues. He transfers milk well and eats well at the breast. This is an issue I’ve struggled with since puberty. Wearing tight bras or no bra without a loose shirt causes chaffing and pain. Any intimate time with breasts has to be stopped after a certain period because it becomes painful. [/quote] He will if he's hungry enough. You being miserable and in pain is bad for both of you.[/quote]
