really sore nipple...

in My baby was born in Sept 2011
For about a week now my nipples have been slightly leaking but in no way sore.

Last night my left nipple become very sore, i can't touch it or have anything touching it, it was leaking quite a bit then it kind of dried over, so had to gently wipe it.



Is it normal to become this sore or should i see someone about it?

    Mine have been sore for a few weeks, well the left one more than the right, I started using nipple cream which seems to be working. Just wash it with warm water and apply cream x

    Thank youuu ladies image

    I put some cream on last night and because i didnt have to go out i just kept my bra off all day, its so so painful, my whole boob has swelled up and i just cant explain how much it hurts.

    Got into bed last night and my right boob and nipple were sore too and today also swelled up.



    Not nice but all worth it lol image
