Sore nipples after breastfeeding

Mummy, do u experienced sore nipples like it is not not cracked, but the nipples is like "standing always" even after breastfeeding? It is a bit painful but not as pain as cracked nipples which I had during my first n second day of breastfeeding. Thanks!

Yes I've experienced sore nipples during my first breastfeeding experience in 2019. it wasn't cracked like you mentioned. felt super sore and for some reason the nipples looked a little swollen but thats about it. but I did have this discomfort for a total of 4 weeks and then it suddenly disappeared. 🤪

Yup absolutely normal! When that happens, it is no touching at all except to nurse baby. I end up using a nipple shield to nursed my baby. Will take some time to feel normal again. Meanwhile, keep applying the nipple cream.
