hi ladies!!

i mite just be worrying about nout, but need some help!! im 27 weeks with my 3rd and plan to breast feed. i BF my 1st for 6 months but my 2nd only lasted 2 days due to the fact she nearly sucked off my nips!! she made them bleed alot and it was extremely painful. this time round i really want to give it another go and try and last abit longer! but im experiencing something differnet with my boobies that i never did with the girls, they ache and i feel tight pressure as if they need expressing?? (which i havent!!) they leek all ready, and are pealing on the nipple and get clogged up with yellowy discharge? they do feel really uncomfortable at times, is there anything i can put on them to soothe them till baby comes? have asked in the chemist but i just get strange looks! HELP!!

A hot flannel placed over the boobies, this helped me last time as i had the same as you, think i'm gonna this time too, I have gone from F to a G and still growing they are soooo painful and also feel full like you are saying and i'm only 6weeks!!!!!
I started off as a C cup last year before i m/c twice but with each baby I grew another size or 2.
The cream that the other lady talked about is the cream i used when i was breast feeding and was bleeding and yes i agree HEAVEN!
Also when you feed this time ask about the shape of your boobies as different shapes need different ways of feeding eg, I have droopy boobs so need to hold 1 hand underneath whilst using the other hand to suport the baby.
This helped me to feed my 2nd baby perfectly.
Sorry i was studying to become a midwife and learnt lots along the way!!!!
Ok Babiling over hope this helps

This is my first baby and last night my OH said - cant believe the amount of movement you have in your boobs! I was a lovely B cup before and they moved then!!!

My nipples have been an increasing problem since about ten weeks and I even said I feel like I NEED to breastfeed like my breasts are engorged and putting major pressure on my nipples!

I started putting on lanosil cream from Mothercare. It is awful - very sticky but the best cream EVER!

I only have to put it on ever second day or so because it creates such a nice coating that withstands water and completely (how I dont know) relieves the pain. Because it is so thick and sticky I usually put a spot on each breast and leave it for about 3 minutes. The heat from your body will make it softer and then it is great to spread.

Good luck
