Congrats on the babies! I could have written this exact
post myself - my guys are 5 and a half months now, and
we're still breast feeding. At 3 weeks I was pumping
after every other feeding - I wanted extra milk for
bottles at night but didn't want to deal with all the
hassle of pumping after every feeding. At about 8
weeks (I think, it's a bit of a blur) I was just
pumping 3 times, once after their evening feed and then
after the first 2 feeds in the morning. I found those
were the times I got the most.As far as sore nipples -
I had the exact same problem at 3 weeks. There were 2
days I was just crying at every feeding. Are you using
lanolin? I used it religiously for the first 4-6 weeks
and I think it made a huge difference. I also got those
soothie gel packs (lansinoh makes them) and those were
what got me through the rough patch. But it was only
really bad for a day or two and once I started using
the gel packs things got better quickly. It wasn't more
than a week or so before I didn't need the gel packs
and it only happened that one time - I think nipples
just need to get used to the constant abuse, but they
do toughen up! It gets better! You're doing great!
