We had our little girl 2 weeks ago, and my wife has been breastfeeding successfully since the beginning. She has however continued to experience some pretty bad pain each time our Little One attaches. As of two days ago, she has tried a new remedy and it seems like it might be working: after feeding, express a bit of milk and massage it into your nipple.
Other things we've been doing: Lansinol ointment and nipple shields (called soothies). HTH!

You are such a wonderful dad and husband!! Way to be on top of finding solutions.. I know, those first few weeks can be rough on the nipples.. The football hold also helped to change the latch on position.. Hang in there Lisa!! It gets way easier!!!
