My personal experience was painful/ soreness for about 8 weeks with DS, then with DD it was uncomfortable for 2 weeks. I was expecting it to be as bad as the first time but for me it wasnt the case. The only thing that happened and i wasnt expecting it was that my milk came in so much sooner. I think with ds it was day 3 and with dd, she was only about 30 hours old. The afterbirth pains when feeding are worse the 2nd time round though. I found ponstan to help with that.

Oh and i breastfed ds until 1 eas 4 months pg with dd, so i did have a 6 month break between feeding
