Hi all,
My partner is trying to breastfeed our newly born son, and she is doing great in terms of getting food inside of him, but she is suffering from such sore nipples that she is in tears nearly every time and feels she is really struggling. We are using nipple cream and she is leaving her nipples to dry off after feeding, and washing them as we understand that this can help. I just wondered if anyone had any tips or treatments they had found that offer mum some relief, but enable littlun to feed at will? We keep hoping that her nipples will get better as time goes by, but there not.
Thanks
Dan
