Ay, ang sakit ng suso during weaning is really tough, mama! A few of us went through the same thing kaya alam ko kung gaano kasakit, try Mama's Choice Nipple Cream, it's pregnancy-safe and breastfeeding-safe, and honestly sobrang laki ng difference niya sa pain at sa pag-ease ng hardness, I swear; also express a little milk (not too much para hindi ka mag-overproduce) para ma-relieve ang pressure, and use cold compress between feeds kaya mas hindi ganap ang inflammation. But if it gets really worse or may signs na mastitis (fever, redness, lumps na hindi mawawala), please check with your OB right away, sis, better safe than sorry, lalo na ngayon na busy ka na with work transition. Kaya mo yan!
