Nipple balm

Breast milk
My midwife told me this trick and it’s honestly worked better for than any of the store bought balms or creams I have tried

I use my breast milk I prefer it to the cream just squeeze a little bit out and gently massage it life changer for me personally

You are angles thank you so much

Lansinoh nipple balm is really good, as it stops nipples getting dry & sore

Olive oil works really well

Honestly, I use breast milk. And it works great! I started doing that when I started getting lots of cracks from pumping. I started using breastmilk and no longer had cracks or painful pumps.

Nipple balm was more of a placebo for me, I thought it worked but midwife said it was too thick and didn’t let my nipples dry to heal. I thought they needed to be moist to heal be soothed. She suggested stopping using the balm or only using the tiniest amount, trying savoy cabbage in the fridge and putting a bit in my bra after feeds. WORKED AMAZINGLY 😂 so strange but the coolness of it soothed and apparently there’s something in the spine of the cabbage to heal you. Only for 5 mins then took my bra off completely to air them out.

Breastmilk or lipbalm/chapstick worked well when I couldn't find my lansinoh
