random nipple care question

[Baby2mommy]

Ok so I just randomly thought bout this but I always hear that if u plan on breastfeeding or are breastfeeding that u shouldn't put soap on ur nipples. My husband n I love going to the lake n swimming n all but I'd hate the thought of having to breastfeed the baby when she's born n swimming in the lake. Sry really don't know how to word this. Hope y'all understand. I would love to breastfeed when she's born just don't know certain things. O n is there certain care I should b doing to them b4 she's born?

Isn't lanisol like really thick n sticky??

Mandatace did you use honey while breastfeeding or before?  I would be worried baby would get some, and they arent supposed to have honey till at least a year or they can get botulism.  I would recomend lanisol as a nipple cream.  Completely natural and safe for you and baby and works wonders!  For the dryness and peeling on the breast I would use coconut oil.

I used honey for my nipples when they got sore. Straight natural honey. I cant use soap products on my skin anyway so I use soap free products and had no problem. If you rinse and dry yourself properly I don't see the problem. And if your still worried, use baby soap.

I used this cream on mine before my babies were born and while (right after) breastfeeding. Mine have peeled before as well. and itched but I think that is because they grew. unfortunately I do have stretch marks now.now

See I don't have dry problem but they n all around my boob just itch like crazy!! N like I got out of shower few weeks ago n noticed I was shedding there I was so stumped . I assumed it was from them growing. My stomach did the same. I'll have to look into the wipes.

While shopping the other week I saw nipple wipes specifically for breast feeding mama. It was at Walmart. I plan on breast feeding as well but haven't been told of any pre upkeep. I keep my skin hydrated  and already purchased nipple cream. At one point around 20wk or so my nipples got dry...I used the cream and they were fine.
