Breast feeding: nipple help

Updated: Jan 14, 2020

A little help for a mommy with sore nipples.



I'm sure most breast feeding moms have endured this at one point 😰😩😭🤣 I just hope all my fellow breast feeding moms know about the two best nipple soothers that are out there.

Natural remedies

...it was a painful process getting my nipples ready to be a food dispenser.”

I am all about the natural stuff. I love too research natural remedies for any ailments or issues I come across. Regarding breastfeeding the most natural remedy that I came across was my own breast milk. When my daughter was born it was a painful process getting my nipples ready to be a food dispenser. The only thing that helped to soothe my nipples when she was an infant was pouring small amounts of breast milk on my nipples and putting on a breast pad to lessen any friction. It really helped.

Also, as seen in the second picture in the post there is Lanolin which is of no harm to the baby if it gets in their mouth and is great. It doesn't need to be washed off after use and it has very few ingredients. I tried the Lanolin as well when my daughter was older (around 3 months old). I only tried it a few times but it was helpful! ⠀⠀
