I have nipple cracks from initial bad latch which havent healed yet inspite of lanolin use. Feeding my bubs is painful hence. Now his latch is good still they arent healing. Got em checked by a lac consultant, she said continue feeding it will heal. But im jn distress. Hes about 23 days old. Any home remedies for healing them.

Breast milk!!!! Is the perfect solution. Warm compress helps too. Continue feeding is a must. I send you a link with fuller details. Breastmilk, breastmilk and breastmilk. :) http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mother/nipplehealing/

Try applying nipple cream after every latch and air dry it. I used to get it and it healed after a week or so. Must be really patient. Alternatively, u can use Yr breast milk too. Must also air dry similarly.
