Painful nipples

[pumpkin]

DD is 2. She used a nipple shield until last week. Yep, got stuck with the nipple shield for 2 years. She finally agreed that she doesn't need the nipple shield anymore.
She still nurses a ton.

I am about ready to get back out the nipple shields even though I hate them. My nipples hurt so badly. Her latch seems fine. I can't figure out what is wrong.

I don't have experience in this area, but lactation consultants are miracle workers with babies/children and nipple shields. Maybe you can call a few in your area and see what their thoughts are - I'm so glad you're still nursing! Keep it up! :)
