Can we talk about nipples?

Gah, I can't believe I just posted that.

Ouch! I have to keep the opposite boob covered or Tommy pinches too. I usually end up high-fiveing with him the whole time to keep the top side arm busy. I have mostly switched to Pumping during the day b/c he is so nutty for daytime nursing. I usually only nurse am/pm now. My nips hurt a lot when I an ovulating (mid cycle) and right before AF starts.

Maybe she scratched you?

Also, those little pinches can bruise! I have bruises on my rack from little Babysaurus fingers. I'm sure it would feel like murder if she bruised a nip.

I sometimes give Babysaurus something shiny to play with while she nurses if she's having a grabby day. I kid you not, one time I gave her spoons. You may have tried that already, but spoons are seriously a real hit over here.

Nip and side boob pain was the start of mastitis for me. It felt exactly like you described. The nip pain you described started about five days before the fever hit.

Oh shit. If that's the case, is there anything I can do about it right now?

Mamasaurus, spoons are our go to at restaurants.

Softskate, I was wondering if it could have something to do with AF. I haven't really had anything PP.

E pinched my nip while nursing and got squirted in the eye. It was pretty fucking hilarious. She also used to give a pretty bad purple nurple if I got to close to the changing table. I give E my ipod to play with since it for some reason she always wants it. That, or I jokingly threaten to wrap her because I know it will piss her off.

I did all the normal plugged duct type things, and when it didn't get any better, i went to the doctor. The pain from mastitis was only really bad for about 12 hours.

If it's the start of mastitis, then start her on that side first. Hopefully it's not. A likes to pinch the bob skin on the one she's nursing on. OUCH!. I am unamused with all of the pinching going on. Plus, I can never clip her nails enough. There's always some sharp needle part that I missed and it impales me.
