Re: Sore Nipples and Congrats!!

[Guest guest]

I am 14 weeks and have not had any sore nipples while nursing. Am I just lucky

or is it

something I should look foreword to? Spencer only nurses 1 or 2 times a day. I

wonder if he

will wean soon or continue the 1 or 2 times for a while?

Amy,

Some women say the soreness goes away in the middle of pregnancy others say

it doesn't go away. I think this is one of the many reasons that older

babies frequently wean during pregnancy, they don't like being limited at

the breast. As for being tired. Are you taking prenatals? Are you

getting plenty of iron and rest? The tiredness should also abate in the

second trimester. About the nipple pain some women will tell their

nurslings that we can nurse for two " ABC's " or something like that and then

sing the ABC's two times through and nursing is over. This works with some

kids, doesn't with others. HTH

Shelby,

It truly is dependent on each mother and child. Some women's nipples don't

get sore, others it seems almost intolerable to nurse. He could wean or

could continue through your pregnancy. It is really hard to predict how an

older nursling will nurse through a pregnancy.

Amy,

That was how I figured out I was pregnant again... my 2 year old was

killing me when she nursed, and I was repositioning her several times

each nursing! I was irritated when she asked to nurse, mostly because I

knew it would be uncomfortable for me.

I learned from LLL that this is really common with nursing through a

pregnancy, the emotions and sensations can go " thru the roof "

sometimes. Like Wendi said, for some women, it's temporary, and for

others, it's constant. You might try hand expressing some milk before

you latch on to get the milk flowing. It could be that your milk

is already adjusting for your unborn baby, and that is working

harder to get at the milk he expects to still be there... You might

also try adding more cuddle time in without nursing. Giving the

satisfaction of your attention might be enough to comfort him until he

was ready to nurse briefly.

I can't offer much in the way of personal experience, since

weaned during my pregnancy, and then resumed a few weeks after

was born. However, having an experienced nursling around when your new

baby arrives can make loads of difference to your milk supply and to the

fullness of your breasts. can help increase the amount of

colostrum you'll have for the new baby if he keeps nursing through your

pregnancy. He can help relieve the pressure of a new supply of milk

after your new baby is born, too. He can also help increase the

availability of hindmilk for your new baby by nursing simultaneously,

which will help your new baby gain weight quicker and feel full sooner.

From my own experience so far, nursing Keely went from " fine " to " agonizing "

when I hit the 2nd trimester then it slowly started feeling better lately.

I'm now 29 weeks and it still hurts a little bit when she latches on, but

nothing like before.
