Mummies, do you clean your nipples before every breast feed & how you clean it?

Nope. I used to clean with water and cotton pads but now I don’t clean before every bf session. I was told that bacteria from the surface of the breast can help develop my baby’s gut health. Now I just do a visual check and breastfeed directly. Too much cleaning may dry the nipples too. Just air dry after every session.

Boiled warm water with hankie to clean before and after. But after confinement getting slack

I bought nipple wipes for bringing out. At home just wash with water and wipe dry

I just wipe with wet wipes or damped wash cloth before and after every feeding.
