Re: breastfeeding - sore nipples

[Guest guest]

Not sure of a product, but getting a lactation specialist to verify that the

baby is latched on properly can be a huge help. If a baby is latched on

properly, even if they feed a lot (my kids were huge eaters) there generally

isn't a lot of soreness. I thought my first kid was latched on properly--it

was working and all--but once the specialist rearranged things a bit it was

night and day difference.

nipples - I notice on the forum people have said the pure lanolin cream is fine

and no nasties, even just bought from Boots. I'm so used to never buying things

from the chemist so I'm hesitant, wondered if that's correct for sore nipples?

and/or whether there is anything else natural that anyone would suggest, other

than coconut oil.
