I breastfed my baby until he was around 7 months old. At around 3 month s old however I had nerve pain in my left breast whenever he fed and despite lots of medical tests a cause could not be found. I struggled with this pain and in the end had to stop feeding with my left breast and just used my right one, which worked out fine. I didn't worry whether he was getting enough nutrients etc. as he was putting on weight and seemed happy and he would feed for a decent length of time each time. I was sad to give it up in the end, but it was his choice - he preferred solid food in the end!
If it hurts tough it out try olive oil it help that's what I've heard but I'm not sure. But in going to brest feed for 3 months or until she gets her first tooth after I'm pumping my milk for my baby so that she still gets all get nutrient's from breast feeding
