Have been BFing for 4 weeks. Nipples are definately hardening up and the only pain is during the initial latch. I'm using Lanisoh / and or excess breast milk, whichever is available.
I've had help from BF counsellers and TBH I'm happy that the latch is ok and we're doing everything right, it's just that my DS has a suck like a vacuum cleaner and my nipples were soft and had been cosseted all their lives
I'm already thinking about the next baby (I know it's the hormones). Is there a way to avoid the painful beginning? Does anyone know a way to harden them up pre birth??
