When does the pain go away while breastfeeding?

Nipple sensitivity in the first weeks of breastfeeding is normal, and that initial pulling sensation in the first 15-30 seconds usually fades within 1-2 weeks.
But if the pain continues throughout the entire feed, or you see cracks, wounds, white spots, or a deep soreness on your nipples, that's not normal—there's usually a reason like poor latch, tongue tie, or a yeast infection. In those cases, the pain won't go away on its own; finding and fixing the cause is what matters.
In short: mild discomfort in the first moments that decreases day by day is normal, but ongoing and intense pain doesn't just go away—solving the underlying problem is key.
