OUCH! You know what I am talking about! Those POOR nipples!!
Sometimes mine resemble the state of Texas. Sometimes they resemble a red buzzard you would hit when you are on a game show! I usually use Lanolin on them after nursings but sometimes, none the less, they still will just 'ache'.
I stumbled across this interested fact from Freda Rosenfeld, IBCLC, today in an article online. Freda says to use Olive Oil to help keep your nipples hydrated and protected while breastfeeding.
Has anyone heard of this before? What other things have you been told you can use to care for your nipples besides Lanolin?
