Today, I was cooking. I leaned over the stove to preheat the oven, and burned my nipple on a pot of boiling water. I also have a teething son who is breastfeeding. FML

Today, I was cooking, and I took a pot of boiling water to the sink to drain. My pot holder slipped, and the boiling water spilled all over my breasts. Second degree boob burns are bad, but losing half a nipple to potato salad is worse. FML
Today, while cooking, I managed to burn my finger. I quickly turned the tap on and ran my finger under cold water, but apparently someone had just used the hot tap, because boiling water flooded out onto my nicely scalded finger. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, I spilt a very hot cup of tea all over a burn I got yesterday from spilling a very hot cup of tea. FML
Today, I had to explain to my husband that while trying to figure out how to make coffee on our stupid new machine, I was in fact nude, so when I finally got it to work and steam came hissing out of the nozzle, I got first degree burn on my nipple. FML
Today, I accepted I can't cook at all. Why? I burned myself cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. I accidentally burst the package open and a scorching kernel flew into my bra. FML
Today, I burned myself while cooking, so I asked my mom to get the burn cream while I waited in the kitchen. While I was waiting, I absentmindedly set my hand on the hot stove, earning myself a second burn. FML
Today, while grabbing a husk of corn out of the boiling hot pot, I splashed hot water on my neck, dropped the corn on my injured toe, and cut myself on the counters, all while my family laughed at my pain. FML
Today, I burned my butt on the heater when I tried to warm up after my shower. FML
Today, I made a cup of tea at work. Whilst talking to a workmate, I took a sip of the tea, which I had forgotten was boiling hot, and laughed at the same time, causing it to come out of my nose. I have blistered my whole mouth and even burnt my nostrils. FML

You can't feed out of one breast for more than a day unless you express from the other one because the milk builds up and causes pressure & pain. Expressing through a burnt nipple might be just as painful as a suckling infant.

OUCH! Poor you! :-( Anyone making silly comments about nudity in ones own home when there's no company is INSANE! Get your facts straight, because that would cause heaps of pain. Esp. with a teething child. Get better!

look, i know not everyone knows anything about breastfeeding, but if you've never done it, please stop making yourselves look like morons by spouting off this garbage about something you know nothing about. as the mammas have said, you can't just use one, the milk will build up in the other breast and be extremely painful, and can lead to an infection. pumping would help, but that would still hurt. another problem is that now all the feeding is left to this one breast, and the teething baby more than likely keeps chomping on it. she can't give it a break. i stopped breastfeeding my daughter once she got teeth, it was just too painful for me. but it IS recommended to continue longer, and props to any mom who is able to tough it out. it is not easy, but it's genuinely the best thing for your baby, so good for you!

Ow ow ow! Get something called soothies! They're cool silicone disks that you put over your nipple. They are about $15 a pair, but if you only use one at a time they'll last a week or two while the burn heals. Lots of air time and using soothies should help. I've never had much luck with pumping, but it may be a bit more gentle than the baby's newly adjusting latch! Hang in there and don't give up! Sorry there are so many asshats on here!

Sounds like a good time to wean the baby off breast milk.
