Ok so I nursed DD1 for 13 months before a nursing strike turned into weaning. Had no problems with nipple soreness after the initial irritation. Even with her teeth coming in and whatnot. I am currently still BFing DD2 who is 13.5 months. She nurses 3-4 times a day and 2-3 sometimes 4 times a night. (crazy I know) And everything is the same as normal. No difference with latch or anything.
So the last week or so my nipples have been sooooo sore! Like barely brush them and I wince and every time she latches it's like(only when she first latches). I've also noticed some mild cramping. I have the Mirena IUD and haven't had periods on it for almost a year now. So that's no clue. Today I went to check the strings like you're supposed to and normally I feel about an inch of the wires and today I only felt the very tip poking out of my cervix. So I think it has moved... Also my cervix is REALLY high. I couldn't even reach it the first time I tried. The only time my cervix has been that high before is when I am pregnant....
What do you think? Could my nipple soreness be from something else??? I've had thrush at the beginning several times so I am pretty familiar with it. This does not seem like thrush at all.
