I destroyed my nipples nursing with my first son. The lactation consultant at the hospital with my second actually made a comment that my nipples look damaged.

I'm trying to be more proactive with my second, and let me tell you- the cabbage leaves really do work!! After every feeding I apply nipple butter and stick cabbage leaves down my bra and it's significantly reduced my nursing pain. I'm day 3 PP and I almost have no pain with nursing now.

Only downside is now I smell like cole slaw 🙃🥴😜
