Booby pain!

Ugh good glory.... I got up at 5 am to babysit this morning, I was half asleep and grabbed the first bra I felt in my drawer.  Big mistake. I grabbed one that was half lace and my tatas are way to big for the cups.  So AAAALLLLLL day my poor nipples have had the cheese grater treatment and they are so ungodly sore!!  I'm surprised they aren't cracked or something :-(.  What would be a temporary fix got the night until I can invest in some lanolin cream tomorrow?

A common home remedy used for sore nipples is tea bags. Steep a few tea bags, wait for them to cool a bit and apply. I'm not sure if there is any medical backing for their use but I tried it when a friend suggested it while breastfeeding my first and I felt it helped. That might help until you can get some lanolin tomorrow - I swear by that stuff!
