Warm salt water, warm compress, lanolin, olive oil, and expressed breastmilk. I've been exclusively bfing for three weeks and my nipples still feel slightly tender after pumping and his initial latch on.
The cream is brilliant stuff!! I was thinking of switching to formula cos it hurt to feed but with support and cream we r now doing brilliant n baby has gained weight in her first few days lol apparently i must hav super milk in my boobs lol
Haha bwynn18 i did see that!!
Also cabbage leaves.. They say to put some in your bra and that helps with soreness and cracked nipples lol.. Im not pulling your leg look it up lol!
Yeah I use the cream everytime and that does help some. I read ice packs or mild heat compress can help too. Thanks!! im sure they'll toughen up & feel better eventually!
Lanolin nipple cream really helps! I lived off from it with my first, and also expressing some breast milk and rubbing it on your nipple will help too. I've heard dipping your nipple in salty warm water will take away some of the pain, too. Good luck I hope they feel better soon!!
