Nipple pain/tenderness
I’m 6wk pp and it still hurts to wear almost anything except my husbands oversized pjs. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a solution?? silverettes came closest probably?

Lanolin cream after every feed and mix some of the breastmilk into it on the nipple, it does get better, I think I was around 3/4 months in when mine didn’t hurt at all xxx
Definitely lanolin cream! Lots of it! Don’t be shy lol 😂 I wore elvie milk catchers for like 2 months to help with my nipples to heal, it also helped to prevent my nips from touching fabric. At about 2 months is when I was able to shower without covering my nipples and wear bras without pain.
Oh wow I’ve been usung earth mama nipple balm sometimes… what exactly does lanolin help with? Maybe I got confused but thought I read something about it causing clogs which is why I went with that balm. And omg I just bought the Elvie in case that works for me too — such a good idea. Fingers v crossed.
And still wanna hear more ideas in case these don’t work for me!
