shower(like beat down, I mean)
*try not to touch them as much as

much it hurts!!!!
*dont breastfeed even if ur tempted--

Wear a bra 24/7. Don't even think about
taking it off! I had to take mine off and
leave it off b/c I was in the hospital and
it hurt so bad. I was on morphine for
some of the time though so I missed some
of the pain. The more you leave them
alone the faster it will go away. It's
just a few days. And like jordan said
don't breastfeed!

make pregnancy sound like such an
adventure and I actually want to become
pregnant but now all I have to do to snap
back into reality is come to this topic!

I just read an artcle in the spring/summer
issue of healthy pregnancy, and from what
you have described and what the mag says,
the baby isn't latching on right. You can
tell this if he comes off a lot and if
your nipples are sore. The mag said to
rug your nipple against his lip, and when
he opens his mouth, quickly bring him up
to you. Don't go down to him, b/c it
won't be comfortable. And if that still
doen't work try some different positions.
I think there is like 5 of them.

Purple333 said in one of the posts about
this same topic to take cabbage leaves and
put them in the freezer. After they are
frozen (or really cold) to hold them on
your boobs and it is suppose to help with
the pain. Just thought I would throw
that in there!

Kari, why don't you just try the pump, and
use one of those plastic bag like bottles
to feed. They are supposed to be just
like the breast ,cuz they don't have they
air that regular bottles have. Plus my
doc said ,the if you want your baby to
have breast milk but you don't want to
breast feed, you can always pump, it out
and it can stay in the freezer for months.
