Breastfeeding - tips for nipples

I use earth mama organic nipple butter. It doesn’t need to be wiped off when you feed. 😊

Silverettes are amazing! I also ordered breast shields

I have been using the silverettes, they're amazing for when you're feeling tender and it's uncomfortable to have your nipples in contact with your clothes!! And doing a thin layer of the earth mama nipple butter in combination with the silverettes, I had bad nipple injury due to my baby's lip and tongue tie, and those helped me heal and recover.

No need to wipe off the nipple butter! Also I saw a lactation page that I follow recently posted that using nipple butter and soothies together essentially cancels each other out. Just use one or the other.

I imagine that the soothies provide immediate relief. And nipple butter helps protect and moisturize your nipples. I like to put the nipple butter on before bed when I know I’ll get a longer stretch to really let it soak in.

Silverettes have been a godsend! I wear them every time I’m not feeding. Baby is 2 weeks old!

In the hospital the LC told me to express a little milk, leave it on the nipple and let them air dry 👌 good for healing and helps soreness.

I use lanolin and wear reusable bra pads with my nursing bra on.

I prefer the squeeze lanolin over the balm ! It’s in a purple tube they have it at Walmart and target mine were scabbed over but I suggest pumping some between feeding it helped me & I take a hot shower before my first feed in the morning
