I emailed my midwife this morning--I hope she'll call it in for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-in-the-game-nipple-issues#post-2303167 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 23:08:04 +0000 simplyfelicity 2303167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Another vote for APNO! Call your midwife and have them call a compounding pharmacy to get it filled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-in-the-game-nipple-issues#post-2303148 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 21:37:19 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2303148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: yep! I got it from my OB. I think you can google a formula to make it yourself if your midwife isn't willing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-in-the-game-nipple-issues#post-2303146 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 21:33:29 +0000 mfa_lady 2303146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Is that the one you have to get prescribed? Would my midwife or DD's pediatrician do it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-in-the-game-nipple-issues#post-2303143 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 21:30:26 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2303143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get some APNO, it's magic and can help heal overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-in-the-game-nipple-issues#post-2303140 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 21:21:41 +0000 mfa_lady 2303140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, DD and I went on a vacation with my mom and some of her friends last week. One night, DD woke up crying and I just let her nurse to sleep so she didn't wake up everyone in the whole house. Well, she (and her six teeth) basically used me as a pacifier all night even though we were both sleeping, and my nipple is wrecked.</p> <p>It's still pretty raw and has bled a couple of times, but I'm still nursing and pumping all day so it never gets a break. </p> <p>Anybody have tips for how to get it to heal quickly? Honestly, my supply has dipped a bit over the last month or so and I'm mostly afraid that it's going to dip even more since I can't pump at the same strength, etc. We've made it this far (DD is almost 9MO) and I'd hate for this to do us in. </p>
