H'okay. Sho. Little buddy is 8 weeks old tomorrow. Breastfeeding hurt like a mother for the first couple weeks (just for those first few sucks after latching on, then fine...latch and position are grand), then the nips toughened up or whatever people say for it and things were pretty groovy. Suddenly, my tatas are so sore and sensitive I almost can't stand breastfeeding anymore. They hurt in my bra, and when I bump into or brush against something....owies ensue. About two weeks ago I started the Zombies, Run! 5k training program. I've noticed the nipple soreness maybe since a few days ago? Cycles haven't resumed since delivering Mr Dude, and I honestly don't expect them to (hopefully) for several more months since we are feeding every 2-3 hours during the day with one 6 hour stretch at night. I haven't started BC yet, but I'm getting my IUD placed in two days. TL;DR I guess I'm blabbing all this to find out if anyone else experienced this kind of extreme sensitivity/soreness while breastfeeding due to running (I'm only going 4-5.5 km, with walking/jogging intervals). What did you do to help it? Is there anything to help it? I really don't want to be ovulating, or pregnant, so I hope this is the cause.
