Looking for some tips. I have a very painful, swollen nipple/areola but Dr and midwife say there is no infection and it's just skin irritation. Advised to let baby feed on other side, gently pump from the problem side for a few days and use lots of lanolin cream. However 2 days in and it's still very sore. I think it's rubbing against my bra so not getting chance to heal. I can't go about topless all the time so what could I use as a barrier? Tried my breast pads but they also seem to irritate it. I have nipple shields but don't know if they would be breathable enough to wear all day?
