Hi, have you ladies prepared your nipples for breastfeeding? I haven't oiled or creamed my nipples so far at all, cause that's what I heard is best. Now I heard, that I should have done that... Any advice?

@tillie, never heard of this at all 😂. My nipples were fine without any prep work, probably just another way to get money out of people 🙄 I'd agree with @abbiegale  if they do need softened your colostrum will do that :) xx

Using your own colostrum will help soften them x
