Everytime she latches it feels like razor blades coming out of my nipples

@lsltylrs01 Make sure it’s not Thrush, I’ve been battling thrush in my nipples for weeks and it hurts, bad. The pain also feels like razor blades, so just be aware.

@lsltylrs01 Mine hurt for like 3 weeks then suddenly was pain free! But yea 8/10 describes it well.

@lsltylrs01 Ouch! I remember that pain. It will get better soon. I had it bad with my first, then not at all for my next two and then a major shock with number 4 because it was extremely painful for 3-4 weeks and then calmed down to no pain.

I used to put AirPods in and listen to music or a podcast I enjoyed to take my mind off the initial pain. I found it helped a lot.

@lsltylrs01 Lanolin nipple balm and determination

@lsltylrs01 The title of this post caught my eye because it’s exactly how I described nipple pain when I had thrush! Talk to your doctor - I was able to apply an antifungal cream, but my bub was a bit older than yours at the time.

@lsltylrs01 I had very similar pain. Baby was diagnosed with tongue lip and cheek ties and once we got those released it helped tremendously.

Meanwhile I used the lansinoh gel pads. stick them in the fridge and they instantly cooled my poor nipples. I also wore silver nipple shields all day and night long for about 6 weeks. They were heaven sent!!!

Good luck. This is temporary and eventually you won’t feel like ripping your boobs off every time little one nurses!

@lsltylrs01 If it still pains after a while, I would make sure the baby doesn't have tongue ties.. only tongue ties make it hurt a lot..
