Nipples Hurt

If you are breastfeeding, a little nipple and breast tenderness is normal in the first week or two. Both you and your baby are learning to work with each other and getting it right can take some time. You may feel a pulling sensation on your breasts while your baby is feeding and your breast tissue may stretch from this, causing some tenderness. If your nipples hurt, then it is a sign that something may not be right.

If your nipples hurt from breastfeeding there may be a few reasons. Your nipples may hurt because your baby is not latching on properly, causing extra pressure or rubbing on your nipples. Your nipples may also hurt because of baby’s saliva that can dry your nipples out. Add a shirt that rubs against the nipples or a too tight bra and you will definitely want to find a way to make your nipples stop hurting.

A good solution for nipples that hurt is finding a moisturizing nipple cream. Baby’s Bliss™ Nipple Cream for Mommies is formulated with avocado, cocoa and Shea butters to help keep your nipples well moisturized and soothed while botanical oils help ease any pain. Baby’s Bliss™ Nipple Cream for Mommies is lanolin and beeswax free to avoid any allergens and is also paraben and petroleum free.

Using a nipple cream will help ensure that your nipples do not hurt and also prevent them from becoming cracked. Using a nipple cream after every feeding will help to keep your nipples moisturized and soothed, preventing any future nipple pain. In addition to using a nipple cream, you want to avoid using soap on your nipples as this will strip them of their natural oils and make sure you have a well fitting bra. Many suggest you try and go braless when possible.
