Everyone is different, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692326 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:57:45 +0000 NurseMommy 1692326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Radish: Hm, this seems to make sense to me! So will it not go away then until I'm fully done weaning? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692296 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:27:44 +0000 Radish 1692296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be hormones from the gradual weaning. A lot of the symptoms when weaning are similar to those from early pregnancy as your hormones readjust. I also went through some nipple issues around one year when she naturally started dropping feeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692274 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:15:43 +0000 NurseMommy 1692274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: pretty sure it's not thrush... She's gotten four teeth before and I haven't had any problems... And I've had af back for 6 months!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692215 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:58:01 +0000 Kemma 1692215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first though would be thrush but I have heard that LO's saliva can be irritating and acidic during teething so could it be that? </p> <p>It could also be AF returning, I tend to get sensitive nipples from ovulation to AF which can be made worse by lazy toddler latch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692204 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:30:58 +0000 sea_bass 1692204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: haha, ok! Mines like when he'd latch on as a newborn. I might take a hpt today as I'm baffled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692203 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:18:21 +0000 NurseMommy 1692203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: most definitely not!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692201 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 02:45:13 +0000 sea_bass 1692201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm suffering with exactly the same thing. Pretty sure it's not thrush or mastitis. I have no idea why it's started now.<br /> Could you be pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-sensitive-nipples-after-a-year-of-bf#post-1692200 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 02:35:02 +0000 NurseMommy 1692200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dd is almost 13 months old and has been breastfed her entire life. Obviously, she is on a significant number of solids now, and she also has cow's milk. Since I started back to work a month ago, we only bf once, MAYBE twice a day, but it can vary due to me working random 12 hour shifts. Sometimes we'll go two days without, some days she'll feed 3-4 times. </p> <p>I'm suddenly having major nipple sensitivity. Like, sitting at work, nipples itchy and painful to touch anything sensitivity. Anyone know what's up with that?? </p>
