That's awesome that he handled it so well teeki, what a little trooper. Hope this leads to a dramatic improvement and you can start enjoying bf again. I remember with DS1 that when the pain went away, breast feeding became this beautiful thing. And it took no time at all, especially after the long time suffering, for my nipples to heal and for the pain to totally disappear. Though the anxiety hung around for a little while longer. Hugs to you, and remember we're still here if you need to talk.
