Breastfeeding Experts!!
(For TLDR; Jump to ****)
This is my second, and I breastfed my first for 14 months.
From day 4-14 with him, I cried every latch. His latch was confirmed to be perfect by 3 separate LCs, but my nipples just weren’t ready lol. He didn’t have any ties either. My nipples bled/scabbed/cracked and felt so bruised. I would bite a towel, cry and whimper.
With this baby, I’m obviously going to breastfeed but I am so nervous about that early pain again.
*****My question is, has anyone used lanolin BEFORE baby is born to “prepare” your nipples? Did it help or hinder?
