You could also try a nipple shield-I did that for my daughter bc she wouldn't latch and it hurt so bad. Just a thin plastic piece you put over your nipple that makes it more like a bottle shape. That saved my nipples too. Never even need cream with it

GinaG · Answer

I do it my baby is 3 weeks been doing since one week she goes from bottle to Breast with no problem I do maybe 2 bottles a day n usually try to just do bottles when my nips are too sore n if we have to go out in public don't feel bad you will be giving Breast milk still right just pumping it or are you going to use a formula for breastfeeding to supplement with ?

I did with my daughter just a few days ago and she is doing great. I understand the feeling of being sore.
