Cracked nipples

I have a barracuda baby who has chewed my nipples and my breasts are sore. Pl help!

Lansinoh is your friend!

Owww! That sucks!

Your own milk is a great moisturizer. Squeeze out a little, and rub it on, and leave it there. That worked better for me than lansinoh.

there are these brest therapy soothing gel patches from gerber and they are supposed to relieve sore, cracked nipples so maybe you can try them

A&D ointment works really well too, if you can stand the smell. I was dealing with my 2nd round of cracks when my sil mentioned it to me. put it on before I went to bed & the next time I fed me the little princess i felt 10 times better, by the end of the next day they were healed

do you have to washi it off before feeding next time?

Quoting Mrs Verdu:“ do you have to washi it off before feeding next time?”

I would think so..

Ya I wipe it with a moist cotton, express a little out and then feed. Lanolin not working :-(
