[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any way to NOT get the painful cracked nipples?? [/quote] I used the lanolin ointment (Lanisoh) religously. Also, between feedings - and I'm not joking here - put a cold, cleaned cabbage leaf over your boob, tucked into your nursing bra or tank. There's apparently a property in cabbage that helps to sooth and heal the nipple, and the cool cabbage sure felt nice. I learned this from my lactation consultant. Yes, I felt ridiculous with cabbage leaves in my bra, but it did the trick![/quote] Be judicious with cabbage leaves- they also can tank your supply. Just a few minutes of use is enough. I had just as much luck with rubbing breast milk into my nipples and air drying. Boobs out became a regular thing ( and blinds drawn!)[/quote]
