Nat - That's exactly how my nipples were feeling, started when Alexander was pretty much 3 weeks and has just gone now. Must've toughened them up or something LOL. Lasinoh and airing them out has been a godsend tho - awesome stuff. I also found that using fabric breast pads seemed to make me more comfy over the disposable ones - I think the plastic backing might've been stopping the nipples 'breathing' (then again, I was using the cheapest disposable breast pads I could find!)

Prior to having a bub, I was seriously deluded in thinkign that breastfeeding just 'happened' - talk about a serious wake up call for me.

Adele - You seat here is nicely warmed and awaiting your arrival.

Jodi-Lee - Alexander is now 4.3kgs! oinky oinky
