[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a script for APNO or go to Target and make your own APNO- do it now!!! Breastfeeding should never be painful or make cracks. Sure it might be a little sore at first, but as long as the cracks and bleeding don't form it won't be painful.

Be gentle to yourself OP. Not everyone likes every stage. Some of us rock the newborn stage and others of us excel at Toddlers or Teens. [/quote]

OP here. I heard it’s totally normal to have pain for the first 2-4 weeks.[/quote]

It is totally normal to have pain the first month or so breastfeeding. Actually with my [b]guest[/b] I had pain breastfeeding the first 3 months but in that case it was a bad latch that then caused mastitis. After I cleared the infection and we figured out the latch, it was smooth sailing and I went on to nurse for 18 months.

Very minimal pain breastfeeding w my 2nd baby.

Agree w recommendation of APNO and definitely make sure you’ve got the latch right. Always get seen right away if you develop mastitis or thrush (you’ll know if you have those as they’re incredibly painful like worst pain ever so it’ll stand out from just typical sore nipple pain) but if you’re sure the latch is good and you’re healthy and it’s still painful, just wait it out. It’ll get better w time.[/quote]
