Breastfeeding should be PAINLESS and COMFORTABLE, from head to toe. Pain is NOT normal!
PREVENT or ADDRESS sore nipples: 1. Avoid cleaning your nipples with cotton pads and water. 2. Express breast milk and apply it directly to your nipples, keeping them wet with breastmilk for 1-2 hours several times a day. Alternatively, you can soak your nipples with breastmilk using a small medicine cup. 3. Watch my video on how to express breastmilk using your hands. Visit my YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/c/NanayNona. 4. Aerate your nipples for 24 hours. Do not wear bras or breast pads. Instead, get an old shirt and cut U-shaped holes to allow airflow. 5.Avoid harsh soaps and fabric softeners on clothing that touches your areola and nipples. 6. Consult a trained healthcare professional to check your latch and positioning.
