<blockquote><b>Quoting Jace's Momma.:</b>" What do you ladies due to help alleviate the nipple pain in the first couple of weeks breastfeeding? So far I've just tried lansinoh(sp?)"</blockquote>

I do the lanolin. I also just got these- http://www.target.com/p/lansinoh-thera-pearl-3-in-1-breast-therapy/-/A-14386190#prodSlot=large_3_8

I'm on the lookout for these- http://www.target.com/p/earth-mama-angel-baby-booby-tubes-1-pair/-/A-11878008#prodSlot=large_3_4

And I'm considering trying these if I can find somewhere that lists what is in them, I checked the box at the store but it doesn't say- http://www.target.com/p/lansinoh-soothies-gel-pads-1-count/-/A-12729475#prodSlot=large_1_44


Also, I pump a little 2-3 times a day right now just to give my nipples some relief & a break. Plus, it helps build a small freezer stash in case there is ever an emergency or we start giving him breast milk in a bottle on occasion. And I find it helps cut down just a bit on the leakage, I've had it pretty bad this go round.

Congratulations mama, how exciting!

Good luck mama, I'll be praying for an easy & fast labor for you with an easy recovery. Looking forward to the updates!

My leakage is horrible. I leak like a faucet.

Me too. I fed him with my left side earlier, changed his diaper & the left side leaked. So when he was hungry again like 10 minutes later I gave him the same side hoping it'd not only help with the leakage but give him some more hind milk to hold him over longer. Also, they're so swollen & full still that a nursing bra is just painful to wear so I got bra-less, lol...I go through a bunch of shirts a day. I'm going to try pumping the opposite side I'm feeding from to see if that helps, at least it won't waste milk that way anyways.

My Insurance pays for it so I had to follow their policy.

I've only leaked a couple times. I don't even wear breast pads. With Lylian I always leaked like if I was feeding her the other side would pour. I guess my boobs are just regulated well from the first time. Idk. But they get full. It just rarely leaks.

That's a good idea. I've been trying to find the time to pump.
