How to Treat Nipple Pain from Breastfeeding
Nipple pain and tenderness are common challenges for new breastfeeding mothers. To manage discomfort while nursing your baby, start by ensuring a proper latch. A good latch helps prevent irritation and allows your baby to nurse efficiently. Consider wearing a comfortable nursing bra or nursing tank top between feedings to provide gentle support.
Applying a small amount of expressed breast milk or lanolin cream to your nipples after nursing can help soothe and protect them. Some mothers find relief by using hydrogel pads or cool compresses. When getting dressed, opt for soft, breathable fabrics like those found in quality nursing dresses or nursing nightgowns. These garments offer easy access for breastfeeding while keeping you comfortable throughout the day.
If pain persists, consult a lactation consultant or healthcare provider. They can assess your breastfeeding technique and suggest additional remedies. Remember, many breastfeeding challenges improve with time and practice. In the meantime, a supportive nursing dress with convenient nursing access can make feedings more comfortable and discreet, whether you're at home or on the go. Look for nursing wear with features like drop-down cups or hidden zippers for easy breastfeeding access while maintaining your personal style.
