My nipples are sore from all the breastfeeding. I have tried breastmilk on it and lasinoh nipple cream. Nothing works. I am at my wits end. I don't just direct latch but pump too. Pumping feels better than DL but I want the bonding time as well. Any advice for me? Any cream to use? Or should i try nipple shields. I am about 6 weeks into my bf journey - and i really hate it.

Always air your nipples whenever you can, it helps to speed up the healing process. Same as the above reply, extra virgin coconut oil is safe for babies. Do check the latch of your baby. sometimes they may not have a deep latch which will causd friction during the suction
