I really like the GAIA nappies balm. I also found regular showers helped too.

Breast milk and fresh air!

My little one is 4 days today and my nipples have blisters on them, that I actually burst into tears when feeding it hurts so bad! My midwife suggested Lansinoh cream I’ve been using buts it’s not seeming to help I can’t wait to try the other suggestions on this forum as it’s getting really hard to handle and I don’t want to give up breast feeding!

Nipple cream is good

I hope you found a solution. I used Lansinoh. Early on i also put water into a clean new born nappy and froze it them sat them around my breasts and found it helped with the discomfort

there are some good comments here

what did you end up using

Udder cream, I kid you not from Moo Goo, it is a wonder ointment!

Buy some Benpathen from the chemist it is safe to use with bub as you dont need to wash off and can use for nappy rash also. … In the meantime if you have blood you need to express.

Some really good answers below.

i hope all is well

The hydragel discs are great but if you have sores best to check with the doctors are they can prescribe some cream which will quickly clear up the sores and it won’t be so sore

Has any of the advice helped?

I cant recommend the rite aid hydrogel breast discs enough! they are the best invention ever! If they are cracked and sore as well I would recommend letting it all hang out in the air (lol just sitting around with no top on) as it helps heal them much quicker than slopping lansinoh all over them

What have you done so far?

he might not be attached properly, also lansinoh nipple cream is great

nipple shields are amazing. and if you start to get a real shooting pain don’t listen to people who say the latch isn’t good its not just that, as it turned out to be mastitis with me, but I had to go through days and days of pain before they finally said its mastitis.

Lanisoh cream is the best you can get it from the chemist I had the same thing your doin a good job mumma

cold tea bags, and palmers nursing cream

Theres a purple tube that starts with L that I used for all 3 kids ( I bf for 14months,11months, and 12months) and it worked a charm. sorry I cant remember the name, my youngest is nearly 4. Ask your pharmacist though, they give fantastic help Try your hardest to keep up the bfeeding, your body is still getting used to it and your nipples will toughen up in time x best of luck x
