Why are my nipples sore?

is your partner really say affectionate with your nipples? Like lots of kissing and pinching and the like? They might just be overstimulated, possibly slightly bruised. Or you are close to your period and that makes them extra sensitive this time around.

They can be a good idea to use a couple of times a day if your having problems. But iv also heard they can confuse your baby. Your babe is only 5 days old, breastfeeding is hard for the first few weeks they do need to keep being re latched and you can be a bit sore. But it does get much easier. So i would do whatever makes you feel most comfortable it is important that mommy is happy, so if you like the idea of breastshield they use them for every other feed so you get some relief and more time in between feeds to heel but then babe wont get to use to the idea of the different sucking action on a shield x

mine get sore a week before im gonna start my period. they dont change color tho!! i would just ask my gyno, im sure its nothing, with age our bodies act differently. cuz this did not use to happen to me in my twenties......weird the joys of aging!

i would go to the doctors
