Coconut oil has helped me a ton with soreness &amp; dryness. I never feel like lanolin does much for me. </p> allison on "Do you have pain with pumping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pain-with-pumping#post-810333 Sun, 26 May 2013 18:21:25 +0000 allison 810333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do on one side. I think my flange is too big for that side, and I haven't gotten around to getting a smaller one. I end up with a circular indention around the nipple after pumping. So I just don't do that side. Not the best advice! Other than check your flange size. </p> lomom on "Do you have pain with pumping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pain-with-pumping#post-810326 Sun, 26 May 2013 18:08:52 +0000 lomom 810326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: I have a Medela pump and use 36mm shields. My nipples don't rub on the shields. I don't know what else could be causing the pain :( </p> MrsHotDog on "Do you have pain with pumping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pain-with-pumping#post-810288 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:22:41 +0000 MrsHotDog 810288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did until I switched over to a bigger shield size. I am not sure which pump you have, but an LC told me that the standard 24 mm that comes with Medela pumps are typically too small for the majority of woman. </p> blackbird on "Do you have pain with pumping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pain-with-pumping#post-810284 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:19:30 +0000 blackbird 810284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just kind of tender in general. I also get a pinching during pumping when milk comes out, especially if I haven't pumped in awhile. 7 weeks PP and they still hurt when I touch them-I thought that'd have stopped by now </p> lomom on "Do you have pain with pumping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pain-with-pumping#post-810277 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:15:12 +0000 lomom 810277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't hurt during but afterwards my nipples are pretty sore. They're also pretty dry. I've been using lanolin but ugh I just hate pumping. </p>
