THANK YOU so much for posting this!! I actually had my OB check-up the day after you posted this and I was able to ask my doctor specific questions (and it sounds like the local hospital system has a GREAT breastfeeding support staff with free at-home visits).

Do you have any advice about nursing pads? I'm eyeballing some really nice, soft handmade washable/reuseable pads that the local cloth diaper store sells. I also was thinking of trying the gel "soothies" pads to see if it helps. TMI here, but it took my nips a solid 15 weeks to FINALLY stop hurting 24/7 during this pregnancy, and if there's any way to help soothe further boob agony, I want a piece of that. x_x
