The sharp pains

Nipple pain in a breastfeeding mother is common but not normal. It often happens when mothers first start breastfeeding and is usually due to a baby not attaching deeply.

Your breasts during early pregnancy may feel sore, sensitive, or tender to the touch. They may also feel fuller and heavier. This tenderness and swelling will usually happen one to two weeks after you conceive, and it can last for a while as your progesterone levels rise due to your pregnancy. Be rest assured things will get better. Pele dear! To be a mom isn't easy. We dey try abeg!

If u are not an ulcer patient, use tab ibuprofen 200mg twice daily for 2 days, then pack ur breasts with a peel of cabbage leave on each breast, then wear a very firm bra.

Are u pregnant?

Are you a nursing mother or expecting mom?

You're possibly not breastfeeding right. Make your baby isn't feeding on the tip on your nipple. Make sure all the nipple is directed into his/her mouth and touching the areola (The dark spot around the nipple) such that the milk flows directly into his/her mouth.

I used Palmer's cocoa butter formula. It's a nursing butter and it's very good.
