nipples are raw

[jodi81]

So I am 40w today and my nipples are so raw any ssuggestions?

[jodi81]

No not breastfeed or stimulating just woke up with raw nipples which is weird because I haven't had any kind of boob pain or anything this pregnancy. I used some cream and they are better now thank God Cuzco my little one will be here any day.

Huh?
What could you possibly be doing to make your Nipples Raw? If you're 40 weeks,  that means you are still pregnant.
Are you breastfeeding someone?

[tinsash]

Yes, squeeze just a drop of milk out of your breast rub it around your nipple and let it air dry that is the best way I did it with both of my pregnancies works great!:)

The lansinol cream also your breast milk helps alot

[melissa724]

Yes. Lansinoh nipple ointment is a lifesaver. I used it with each pregnancy. Its safe for you and baby. You can find it everywhere. CVS, Walgreens, target, Walmart, babies r us, etc...

Yep - Lansinoh nipple cream.

[jodi81]

Okay thanks ladies!

My friends swear by the nipple cream made by Lansioh. I'm sure I didn't spell that right lol. I've already bought a tube and I'm not experiencing any pain yet.

Ice packs feel great! I used to walk around the house with them tucked between my bra and nursing shirt after I had my son. I looked silly but didn't care. Also if they are already raw before baby maybe start using nipple butter. The last thing you want is to start bleeding when nursing, believe me, so apply it religious once baby is born as well.
