What can i do to soothe my nipples during a painful latch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lanolin, cool packs: Firstly, work on the latch technique with a goal of a pain-free latch. If it's too late, and your nipples are already abused, apply a few drops of breastmilk after each feeding to moisturize the skin. You can also try lanolin as a soothing agent. Gel-based cool packs can take the sting and burning down a few notches, and a dose of Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be in order for moderate pain.
