I, OTOH, was in excruciating pain for the first month of breastfeeding with both kiddos. Could _not_ get them to latch on right. Until things toughened up it felt like someone was using razor blades on me every time we started a feeding. Still, I managed to nurse the first one for eleven months and the second for ten. Just had to curl my toes and cringe a lot for the first month with each. Karen E> .
