Okay, so TMI alert - this post is all about my nipples! I just need to know I'm not alone in this and maybe get some advice! And... onward!

So, before I had Xander, I used to have pretty normal breasts and nipples (at least I assume). My nipples were generally flat and only got hard when cold or aroused. That's normal, right? Well, since Xander has shown up and I started breastfeeding, they are CONSTANTLY hard!

Here's my dilemma - wearing bras (or more form-fitting shirts) HURTS. They tend to squish my poor nips down at odd angles (because obviously, they're still hard as rocks). When I'm at home, it's not as bad because I just wear a loose shirt over them, but if I answer the door or go check the mail, I'm always embarrassed to be seen because they're just standing at attention through my shirt!

So... is this normal? And what do you do about it??
