3 days of breastfeeding almost made me want to give up because my nipples were cracked, sore, and bleeding. It was so gross that I thought they were falling out. It was due to poor latching since my baby didnt know how to latch on properly yet. Thankfully I ordered Lansinoh Nipple Cream from ebay and it gave relief to them, and in due time when my baby learned to latch, they werent sore or cracking anymore.
