Need to Find SOOTHIE Brand Breast Pads or Something for Breastfeeding Pain

I had the same problem you are. I hurt so bad I could hardly stand it. I did use Soothies, too, and they worked pretty good for me. With my first child, I got them at Kaiser. I think they have a Lactation Department (there is a place where you can rent pumps and they will probably have the Soothies there). With my second child, I got them at Babies 'R' Us. I don't think they are all that expensive there but when you are hurting and need a little relief, you will probably pay anything.
Good Luck!! and I hope this helps.

I'm currently nursing my third and I know just what you are talking about! Even though they say it shouldn't hurt if the baby is latching well, for some moms it just does for a while. So while I do think it's a good idea to double check that the latch is good and that the baby is not at all tongue tied, sometimes it just takes some time. Thank goodness it gets so easy later!

But while you are waiting for your soothies to come, try cold compresses - keep a bottle of ice water and a cloth at hand while you are nursing and as soon as the baby unlatches, wet the cloth with some of the cold water and hold it on your breast for a couple of minutes. Be sure that you dry off very well before you close your bra so that you don't invite thrush.

Also if you need to, taking some tylenol is ok too.

Do you live above Sac? Do you know where Nugget Market is? They have this double cotton thing that is filled with Flax seed. You can warm it in the microwave or put it in the freezer. It works GREAT! And it is reusable! Just do not microwave it too long! Good Luck Girl.

Oh btw it is in their family health and wellness section. It is in the front of the store under the red light. They have TONS of homopathic items to help with your issue.

Feeling your pain!

Try Rite Aid or Walgreens.

I am not sure where you live but I bought mine at Kaiser. YOu can get them at any hospital or where they rent pumps

I believe Motherhood Maternity sells them. I bought one pack there last year when I had my baby. I bought the rest new on ebay and saved a bunch of money. If no luck there try Goore's in Sacramento on Fulton and Marconi. Another idea is Maternal Expressions in Folsom. They have lactation consultants there so if they don't carry them i'd contact them and ask if they might know.

They do have some thin gel like ones made by Playtex they sell at Target and probably babie's r us. They aren't as good as the soothies but I just thought i'd mention it. Gerber also makes these hot/cold packs to help ease breastfeeding pain, especially if you are engorged. I know I got mine at Target.

Good luck :)
