One of the pains that I have to endure after giving birth to my children is nipple cracks. It is because baby sucks on the nipple instead of the areola; the area around the nipple, the colour is darker than the rest of your breast tissue. Mine turns even darker and bigger when I am pregnant! Hey, this happens to all pregnant women. 
I read that Mother Nature makes it that way so that it will be easier for baby to identify which part to latch.
So, when I complained of nipple cracks, the nurse will tell me that I did it the wrong way. The baby must latch on the areola not just the nipple. I really do not know how to do that coz baby’s mouth is so small. The most he can take in is the nipple and a small part of the areola; how to shove ALL the areola in?
So I endured the nipple cracks. Each time baby latches, it is as though that he is sucking on an open wound. Well, it is an open wound. After a week or two, the wound healed and the nipple become tougher and no more cracks. If you have nipple cracks, just use your own breastmilk and apply on it. It helps a lot to expedite the healing process, better than any cream.
Now I wonder whether the nipples toughen or baby’s mouth is bigger and he can take in more of the areola after 2 weeks being born into this world.
Stumble it!
eh gotto picit and flatten the whole aerola and chuck it into his mouth. Same like justin la. once side like to pull the nipple long long one side can drink properly. Now senget sebelah. really not easy bfding
You’re supposed to wait until baby opens his mouth big-big…..tempt him but don’t give it to him until his mouth opens wider. Then when he opens wide enough, you are supposed to be ready with your nipple all pinched up and JAB it into his mouth (almost like you’re going to choke him!!) and then he will suck from the areola. Trust me, it works – LOL. I learnt this from the best breastfeeding consultant in the country!
ouch….must be so painful for u !!! what a challenge….
gd luck!
