Mine hurt pretty badly always felt bruised until I started pumping exclusively at 6 wks. Before then I had a crazy oversupply that my Lo could not deplete. They felt pretty normal after that (albeit huge) until I stopped Pumping.

Ugh. I remember that. I could barely wear shirts. Forget bras. I think around 4 months it felt normal.

I had a lot of painful issues in the beginning, but the boobs felt normalish again when the issues subsided around 3.5-4 months. After that, they were just bigger until I completely weaned at 13 months.

I wrote a post asking about this!!! Let me see if I can find it because it was within a week of me asking the question that they started to feel normal!

C is 11 weeks and they feel normal (unless I'm late to feed him, like if he sleeps longer at night).

@Foodnerd81: Yep!!! Mine were like that ALL THE TIME. It totally sucked. Wearing nursing pads in my bras has really helped and they are no longer standing at attention all the time, which is nice! And I try to adjust them in my bra so that the nipple is squished flat as opposed to to the side, which really hurts.

I remember that horrible feeling. I think it went away around 8 weeks or so. I couldn't stand a towel to touch my nipples and I wondered if that yucky feeling would ever go away. It does and they toughen up a lot.

Oh man. LO is 7 mos and my nipples don't feel normal. I really don't expect them to until we're done nursing. They feel much better than in the beginning, but still way more tender than before.

I'm 4.5 months pp and had MAJOR nipple trauma when we first started BFing, but they feel fairly normal again now. However, I can't lay on my stomach, not even for a second, without pain (last week I dropped something under my bed and was trying to lay on the floor to get it and I had to put a pillow under my boobs because they hurt so much, even for that brief amount of time).
