sore nipples

[Tezzy]

Ffions latch is fine (checked by mw today) but my nipples are still really sore

any miracle cures????

Lansinoh! It's awesome stuff! Sam's latch was fine too but mine were soooo sore at first - made it worse when they kept sticking to the breast pads and it hurt to pull them off! Also rubbing a bit of breast milk onto them after each feed can help. Hope it gets better for you soon x

thanks for the advice

It does get better quite quickly if the latch is ok - they're just not used to being vigorously sucked on several times a day! Sam's still like a hoover now but no pain any more

I found that paracetemol worked wonders, but then I was sore for ages. Also, let your nipples dry before you do your bra up.

Yep, it's all been said

after a feed, breastmilk on the nipple... air dried, and lansinoh

Also, during bath/shower time soaking nipples in warm water is a really nice relief.
