Breastfeeding

Any moms on here have any breastfeeding experience because I'm looking for a cream that will be helpful when it comes to soothing sore nipples and keeping my skin from cracking. Wasn't prepared for all that when I had my daughter so needless to say I gave up on breastfeeding. Just want to be successful this time around.

I used a few creams and I also used nipple guards on and off wen in too much pain. Some ppl aren't a fan but my son had no problems with them and they help ALOT!!!

Definitely give coconut oil a try! I have yet to use it for breast feeding but I use it for everything. It's a miracle oil. You can also consume it to increase milk production.

Lanolin and madela are both good. There are a lot of creams for dry cracked nipples. They all provide some sort of relief generic and ones made by companies that do not provide only breast feeding supplies do bot help as much but they do some.

I used lanolin with my 3 previous kids, that helped but also putting your milk on your nipple than letting then air dry is a huge help as well. Also I've heard and may try coconut oil as well this this time. Good luck mama
