hi guys

I’m in my FT with my second pregnancy and I’m also breastfeeding my 6 month old. I’ve suffered with sensitive boobs and nipples in my last pregnancy and I’m suffering now too. He keeps whipping off which doesn’t help 🤣 any advice on how I can relieve some of the pain? TUA x

My little one used to be more fussy when they were teething, I found a bit of Anbesol liquid on their gums before a feed helped and also putting lots of nipple cream on. My favourite was the weleda brand as it wasn't as sticky as some of them. I think at 6 months they do also start getting really distracted by the world.My little girl was nearly 16 months when I got pregnant for the second time and I had gestational diabetes, so diet changed and had medication and my daughter told me my milk had gone yucky, so I did stop breastfeeding in my second pregnancy, so I don't have a huge amount of experience with it. I hope it gets better for you soon xx
