Hi, all: I couldn't find this in the archives. I have been asked by the mother of an 8-week-old exclusively bf baby how long it will take for her nipple sensitivity to go away. She has no pain during nursing, but her nipples are otherwise sensitive to even the lightest touch, even cloth brushing up against them. They are not red, itchy or painful. I have no experience with this, since most mothers I know have not complained of this sort of thing. Their nipples tend to become less sensitive over time, or so I thought. Any ideas?
