Hey...right my question is...when you attach your babies to your boobs...is the initial attachment supposed to be painful and then once they start sucking the pain goes? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Yep, same here.
If we've had a day/night of bad latching on it'll hurt for a bit, just have to make sure he latches on properly. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Yeah that's how it is at the begining; You know you're doing it right (as in, latching them on correctly and less likely to get sore cracked nippes) if it hurts just in the initial latching-on, but there should be no pain when they are actually feeding...
The intitial latching-on pain will subside in time, though - To tell the truth I'd completely forgotten about it until reading this thread! lol |
