Sore nipples

Question

Hi first time mum who has a 3 week old here :)Is it by default that our nipples will be slightly sore if we choose to breastfeed / pump? My nipples are always painful when it touches my bra or clothing. It is also tender to touch but it’s not cracked. I wonder if this is something I have to accept and bear with if I breastfeed / pump? Or am I latching wrongly or perhaps being too sensitive? 😢#firsttimemom #help

Coz your nipple is not season yet.Please try pigeon natural feel nipple shield and your nipples will thank you later.U can wear for latching if u have inverted nipples or u really feel that ur nipples are very sore.I usually wear it after breast feed and put on my normal bra to minimize discomfort from the clothing.
