Hi guys!
Any suggestions on how to treat sore nipples? I am thinking of getting those gel pads to place in the nursing bra. Any suggestions on a good brand? One that's effective and safe for baby?
Thank you!
 
Hi there!
When I was breast feeding I used a cream called mamma mio, it worked perfectly for me. Also breast pads and wipes to clean the nipples of the brand Chicco.
You can find the cream at the Linea Negra stores and the other things at Chicco stores.
Hope this helps :)

I used Mustela's cream and found it really effective. Didn't use anything special to clean... was told in the hospital that a bath is enough (though not sure if one is supposed to specifically clean nipples if using a cream...I assumed the cream was safe).
 
My midwife told me to use cold teabags (used ones). Stung like buggery for me, but I guess it must work for some people ; )
 
Before nursing, squeeze out & dab some breastmilk onto nipple AND then apply nipple gel(Lansinoh/Medela- available in Eugene Centre (I got my Pigeon's from S'pore) Repeat these steps after nursing Hope this helps & get well soon:)
 
Breast cream

Just joint these thread. Only 2 month pregnant. My fren who have delivered her bb use lansinoh breast cream and she say its really help. I will also think that I have to buy these cream incase I got sore nipples. I was advise not to wear underwired bra too.
 
With my first child I used Lansinoh with no success for six months. With my second I tried again...still didn't do anything for me. Putting breastmilk on them also didn't help. I had the "Lily Pads" gel nipple pads that can be refrigerated and then put in your bra--provided very, very temporary relief but overall didn't help. I put cool cabbage leaves on my breasts--also temporary relief but no long-term cure. Then....I started applying pure, organic coconut oil--just the kind that you can buy at a health food store. Voila! Perfect. Have never had a problem since. I am still breastfeeding my daughter and she just turned 1 year old last weekend and I still apply the oil after bathing and after each feed. So, organic coconut oil is my top suggestion.
 
i went through tubes of the lansinoh breast cream and always used breast pads. i didn't leak, but the extra cushion certainly helped.
 
I second the use of breastpads help to cushion At 25 months now, I'm still using them(Pigeon-best I find so far, and available here, haven't tried chicco's thou), as well as nipple gel after shower too like thanka2 did with something else

I forgot to add in the last post that airing sore nipples whenever u can helps speed up the recovery
 
And while you are medicating or working on pain relief, I hope you are consulting an LC to help you figure out why they are sore... an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
