My baby wasn't tongue tied, but it took at least six weeks before I could feed without toe-curling pain. It does get better! I also had raw bleeding nipples. Airing out my nipples by going topless, breast shells to wear when I was at home to keep my clothes from rubbing them, and softer breast pads helped. The hospital also gave me some soothies gel pads that could be refrigerated and then stuck on to relieve the nipple pain/keep clothes from rubbing on them.

You can get it on amazon, at GNC or health food stores; it comes in both liquid and pill form. I've gotten it (pill form) from GNC and VitaminShoppe. I suggest calling if you are going to head to a store because not all of them carry it. I've found a couple brands that have 250mg but usually they are 125mg so you just have to take 2 each time.

I was in your EXACT situation--LO was tongue tied and my nipples were cracked, bleeding, and scabbed. The LLL woman who came to my house said she'd never seen damage that bad. Even after my LO's tongue tie was clipped, I continued to have pain for a while. I found out recently that he also had a lip tie that should have been clipped at the same time but it wasn't--has your LO been checked for a lip tie?

The pain significantly decreased for me around8.5/9 weeks. Now, at 14 weeks, it has gotten SO MUCH BETTER and barely hurts at all. I also had pain in my nipples almost all the time, even when LO wasn't nursing. It could be thrush, as @Kemma suggested, but you may also be suffering from vasospasms, which are common in babies who don't latch properly (basically the circulation to the nipple is clamped down on because of poor latch and when blood returns, it hurts). Taking 500mg of magnesuim daily helped A TON and within a few days the pain had almost gone away. I now no longer need to take the magnesium.

Hang in there mama, it really does get better, and it won't always hurt like it does now!

@heartsnsunshine: You poor thing. Reading your post brought me right back to all the pain and stress of my breastfeeding experience. My story is almost identical to @hilsy85: .
My LC noticed a tongue tie and we got it clipped when DD was about 2 weeks old. I thought that would be the magic solution, but it definitely wasn't. I had the burning and breast soreness you mentioned. It wasn't thrush, but it turned out to be vasospasms. I noticed how white my nipples would be after I fed her. I lived with pain in my breasts for a solid 3 weeks. DD would be crying in hunger, and my family members were saying she was hungry, and I was trying to find other things to soothe her because I did not want to feed her.
I remember reading similar posts that said BFing gets better around 6-8 weeks and thinking, I won't make it 6-8 more days, let alone weeks! @winniebee told me to never give up the day I want to. That message really helped me get to the next day, and the next and next.
Don't be afraid to take time off, pump and bottle feed. The nipples do heal quickly, and for your own state of mind, you need a break from the pain. Don't worry about nipple confusion...the baby will most likely always prefer the boob.
Even at 12 weeks, DD has feeds that are not great. She's a shallow latcher, but the pain is tolerable, and i'm proud to say she went 5 weeks without a bottle. She is only getting them now because I went back to work. I EBF her when I'm home.
What ultimately ended up working for us is seeing an occupational therapist who specialized in sucking. DD had a disorganized suck as well as tightness in her jaw and a hypersensitive soft palate. SHe showed us some exercises and within 3 sessions of craniosacral therapy with her, DD was remarkably better.
Reach out to other women in your life who had trouble. Had i not had several friends to lean on, I would have given up a long time ago.
