I think this is the right place to ask....

Am due in 6wks with bubby #2 and am planning to BF (BF DD for just over 12months).

I had major dilemmas in the first 6 or so weeks with DD - mastitis 3 times in varying degrees and major cracked nipples that I almost quit the whole BF game but was saved by a breast pump!!

My concern however is (slight tmi?? ) the particular nipple that was the worst (right side) has never seem to ever go back to looking normal like the nipple on the left - it's always looked, well, broken! like the cracks never healed completely.

So am wondering am I going to have probs again this time?? Coz my memories of those first weeks aren't pretty and would love to BF but avoid all that yucky stuff.....

Would love any thoughts from those in the know Thanks for listening!!
