Hornet's nest

HELP READERS,
 
Holy Jesus...Kelly Clarkson...my nipples are en fuego!!!
Breastfeeding has caused my nipples to feel like there is a hornet's nest in my baby's mouth whenever she bellies up to the bar.  
How long will this phase last?  I must know in order to persevere with the sweet, sweet nectar.

LOL! Oh MY GOD! I know that is the HARDEST part of breast feeding. The pain lasted with me for about 21/2 months. Slowly got better but by 3 months you should be in the clear.
Sorry Kendra...
Tell Leigh hello :)

Oh no! All my mama friends have warned me about nipple rawhide. What a cruel curse. Good thing she's so darn cute!

no, no, this goes away after about a month. take real good care of you spickets though, they are a lifeline.

ask or buy the gel pads to put on your nipples and put them in the fridge between feedings. they saved me. worth every penny, they should have them at the nursing nook. lanolin did nothing for me!
