Breast milk is better then nipple cream!


At my antenatal class the midwife said that actualy instead of using nipple cream fo dryness and cracks just put breast milk on your nipples and rub it in, she said it's very soothing and gives plenty moisture
I never knew this ! But if you do suffer with extreme sorness then use the nipple cream.

Will deffo be trying this

I do this when my nipples are sore and hurting - I just squeeze out a little colustrum (spelling???) and massage it in and leave to dry for 5mins before getting dressed.

Only cos I'm a right tight git though and refuse to buy anything unnecessary haha xx

This is what our midwife said at our breastfeeding session as well this week. She said it had something to do with all the vitamins etc in the colostrum. Will give it a go!

I have heard that doing that then putting some nipple cream on top to seal it in is the best way but if you're fine with just the milk then go for it!
