I have been bf for 5 weeks and the bumps on my areola often get sore in spite of a good latch. It can be excruciating. At the moment one of them looks like a tiny zit with a white head on it. I tried having a hot shower and was hoping to squeeze it but didn't work. I am using a nipple shield over it, but not keen to continue that for much longer as I tend to get a bit of engorgement when using shields. I can reach for the paracetamol but what else? Am I weird to have this problem? I can't seem to find much info on it n the internet or in books. It's so painful it makes me want to give up :(
