How do I prevent sore nipples?

You can try: - Nursing frequently (every 2 hours) - Adjusting to find a good positioning for proper latching - Use your milk to heal cracked, bleeding or blistered nipples (express a little milk onto nipple and let it air-dry) - Applying purified lanolin cream/peppermint cream to aid in healing - Pump a few times before feeding to elongate nipple - Apply heat (hot water bottle/cloth) to nipple immediately after nursing - Applying warm and wet teabags after nursing You can refer to these two articles for more information on preventing and treating sore nipples: http://sg.theasianparent.com/sore-cracked-nipples-during-breastfeeding/ http://www.todaysparent.com/baby/breastfeeding/top-10-ways-to-prevent-and-treat-sore-nipples/
