Sore nipples

I'm 33 weeks and just started leaking colostrum which is no big deal but every time my nipples get hard they hurt. Any other mammas has any remedies to help ease the pain?

Try using cotton wool and lukewarm water to clean the nipple.I think this can help soften and reduce the pain.

Heating pads help, just use low heat. I don't know if yours feel dry, itchy, or started to crack, but mine have been so I started using lanolin and that helps too.
