Ladies, how long does it for your nipples to get used to the continuous suckling? I use coconut oil to keep them hydrated but they hurt after a few nursing sessions. Does it. Get better? Any tips?
ThanksMy experience has been that if it hurts then likely the suction or technique is off. Gentle suckles, good latch, comfortable position really makes a difference.
For me to get uses to it, I had to start with short sensual sessions till I was able to find my own comfort in positions, latching, timing, sucking pressure etc. I definitely “FREETIT” after each session to avoid the brushing/pressing my nipples against something like a shirt or bra. AVOID THEM FOR A BIT! It normally keeps my nipples aroused also. I enjoy every bit of the satisfaction it brings!! HAVE FUN!!!
We were actually wondering about that. He is usually very gentle when he is nursing from me, especially when it’s not during sex. But we were wondering if gentle sucking would induce lactation? We feel that he needs to suckle a little hard to stimulate my breast. No?
Hi Ginette,
Remember your breasts are designed to feed a 6-8 pound baby, so consider that gentle a suckle as the gold standard for inducing lactation. Nipple soreness is a pretty universal thing, at first, until they “toughen up”. Make sure to use a nipple cream, (I like the lanolin based ones) after each nursing or pumping session, which really helps with soreness.
Too vigorous suckling (if it induces pain) can backfire for both inducing and “let down” once you are producing, as it can collapse the ducts.
To respond to your previous questions: It took me 12 weeks of pumping 4-5x per day to get milk drops during relactation, and I had previously nursed 3 infants. It will likely take you longer if you’ve never lactated before. Supplements can help develop the milk glands and bring production up.
When the breasts start producing milk, you will begin to feel a fullness and maybe even a sense of tingling before the next time to pump or nurse. That’s all a good sign. Soreness of the nipple is also a good sign that the breasts are getting ready to produce, and its not just about the pumping or nursing soreness.
Hope this helps and good luck!
I didn’t find it painful or uncomfortable at all when I had an ANR partner. He was an absolute pro and it felt divine, even after hours of suckling. Your husband may need to learn how to latch on and suckle properly.
@yogi – Thank you so much for your detailed reply. Very helpful. I cannot wait to feel that sense of fullness in my breasts, I’m sure I will love the “urge” to want to nurse and my hubby will love the feeling that I urgently need him to take my breast. I cannot wait to get there!!!
Yeah 100% make sure your partner had a good latch. Otherwise it can make it be very painful. Collapse your milk ducts if the suction is to much. Or hinder mill production.
@rachyj- you were 100% correct. He was sucking rather than suckling. Thanks to you and other ladies, we figured out that his technique was wrong. Now he latches on my breast properly and it feels much better. I still have a sensitive nipple after the session but much better than before. Thank you ♥️😂
This is a common issue, especially if you 2 just stumbled upon it during sex/foreplay. Hopefully over time his technique will improve. His mouth may get tired at first, as he’s using muscles in ways he’s not used to, but patience and understanding are all part of the closeness and intimacy that are required for such a bond. If he wants to practice, a friend told me that it’s like sucking your thumb 😂You’re both so very lucky to be able to enjoy this with someone you already have a loving relationship with 💞 it will just deepen your bond.
