Healing Tips for Sore or cracked nipples when breastfeeding
- Applying correct breastfeeding techniques
- Preparing the nipples for breastfeeding during pregnancy using Mumsy Natural Nipple Cream
- After each nursing session, spraying Mumsy Natural Nipple Cleansing Lotion on the nipples and wiping them with sterile cotton
- Applying Mumsy Natural Nipple Cream to clean, dry nipples
- Allowing the nipples to air-dry
- Using a quality breast shield to allow airflow (it doesn’t have to be plastic or silicone—you can even make your own shield at home)
- As long as nipple cracks are present, synthetic breast pads are not recommended.
How to Heal Nipple Soreness
Healing nipple soreness experienced by breastfeeding mothers is possible with proper breastfeeding techniques, attention to hygiene that matches the skin’s natural pH, and consistent use of appropriate care products.
During breastfeeding:
- Always start feeding from the side that is less injured or not sore.
- Incorrect latching at the beginning can worsen an already sore nipple.
- Before latching, you can briefly apply a cold compress (with ice wrapped in a cloth) to numb the area.
- Try different breastfeeding positions to find the most comfortable one for you and your baby.
- If breastfeeding becomes too painful, it is essential to maintain milk flow by expressing milk from the injured breast to prevent mastitis. If pumping is too painful, try hand expression instead. (For proper pumping techniques and device selection, consult a breastfeeding specialist.)
After breastfeeding:
- After each session, spray Mumsy Natural Nipple Cleansing Spray onto the nipple, then wipe it with sterile cotton.
- Apply Mumsy Natural Nipple Cream to clean, dry skin and let the area air out.
Between breastfeeding sessions:
- Let your skin breathe whenever possible.
- If you need to cover your breasts, use only 100% cotton materials.
