Best treatment for sore cracked nipples

Article: Best treatment for sore cracked nipples

The best treatment for sore nipples is prevention. Frequent feeding does not cause sore nipples. A baby who doesn’t latch on well or is attached incorrectly at the breast is more likely to be the cause.

It is important for you to get expert help from a breastfeeding counsellor or infant feeding specialist to sort out your baby’s latching on technique if you feel you need some guidance.

Babies learn to suck properly by getting milk from the breast when they are latched on correctly.

Nipple soreness will usually ease up after the first few sucks once you are relaxed and your baby is latched on correctly especially after the milk settles down and flows freely. Remember that your nipples are a very sensitive part of your body, and are not used to having stress put on them.

If your nipples do become sore, Green People recommend 100% gentle and organic Baby Salve, made from hemp, calendula and lavender. The salve soothes and moisturises sore or cracked nipples and can be used safely whilst continuing to breast feed your baby.
