How to prevent and treat sore nipples for breastfeeding

Painful nipples are the most common reason for women giving up breastfeeding. However, there are ways to avoid them. Make sure your baby is correctly positioned and properly latched on, and never pull your baby off the nipple (see. How to breastfeed a baby). Ask your health visitor for advice if you have problems. Keep your nipples as dry as possible between feeds and make sure they are dry before putting your bra back on. If they do become cracked, ointment, such as Vaseline, may be helpful. You can also try using a nipple shield. This is made of soft silicone and fits over your nipple. The baby sucks through a small teat on the front; sterilize it before use. See the bast equipment for sore nipples.
