Oh no! I do recall those days too. I even reached a point where I would put on some sort of cream or coconut oil and then put plastic wrap over that to help the healing process. My lactation consultant actually recommended soothies to help aid in healing and I found those worked well too. They say you can only use them twice but I would wash them and pop them back in the fridge for several uses and let me tell you, straight out of the fridge sounds awful but it so soothing!
