Breast Feeding Pain

My daughter is almost 3 weeks old. She's been doing well breast feeding but within the last couple days, my nipples have become almost unbearably painful! I'm using nipple cream after almost every feeding but I'm still almost in tears every time she feeds. I saw a lactation consultant and she thought my daughter's latch was pretty good. That was before the pain was this bad. Is this common? Will it get better and what do I do in the meantime?

Help! Breastmilk or Formula

Hello mamas, You've always been so helpful with my pregnancy questions, now I have a newborn and need more help! Okay, I have a 10 day old boy who screams inconsolably when his diaper is changed, even if I just check it for potty.

Which Formula Is Best?

I am considering weening my child but don't know which formula is best. We typical eat all natural foods at our house. If it could be purchased in bulk at Sam's to save $ that would be a plus. Does anyone have any suggestions? i might just end up breastfeeding her until she's one, but i would like some freedom, and her dad hasn't had a chance to feed her yet.

Quiet Medela Breastpump?

I have an older Medela Pump in Style that I used for my first. It works... but it is sooo loud and so slow. I recently saw another women pumping and was amazed at how quiet it was, I couldn't even hear it. I asked her if it was a Medela and she said yes, but I'm not sure which model. Do any of you have a very quiet Medela pump that you'd recommend?
