Best Answer

In the early weeks of breastfeeding, the breasts get very full in between feedings while your body learns how much milk the baby needs. At first, it is painful because the breasts are so engorged. This subsides in a few days, though some fullness still occurs for a few weeks. During this time, I described the feeling like scratching an itch.

It is also common for nipples to be very sore at first, even with a correct latch. This will get better, too.

After your body has regulated your production of breastmilk, you only feel the touch of your baby's mouth. It doesn't hurt or feel strange at all.

Why do mothers want to throw up when breastfeeding their babies?

This is not common. Most women don't feel this way. Possible reasons; - uterus contracts after birth when you breastfeed so that makes you feel sick. - she might not be comfortable with breastfeeding. Not all women likes it. Then formula can be a better choice. - she is having post partum depression and therefor it feels alien to feed the child since you just want to get away from it. - breastfeeding hurts like hell in the beginning and pain can make you want to throw up.
