@luvyabud I'll definitely look it up. Thank you!!

@texxie its like a little blue jar with and brownish orange label, Black lid. The box is also that brownish orange color. I ordered it on Amazon for like 10 bucks. Worth every penny!

@enel this morning when she was nursing, blood was coming out so I decided to stop nursing until they heal. I've been pumping and giving her the milk. I'm going to work on getting them healed all day then try to relatch her. I hope it works bc it's so painful!!!

As a last resort, you could always express for 12-24 hours. I gave myself a night off and by morning they had healed enough to spend the time improving my latch... As it sometimes took 10 times of putting her on and un-latching her... Which was normally very painful, but my nipples could handle it so much better after a rest. It definitely saved my breastfeeding it it was perfect a few days after that x

Thanks ladies. It's very painful still even with the nipple shield they gave me. I'm just still nursing through the pain.

@loveyabud is that the one in the brown container? My cousin gave me some of her things when she stopped breastfeeding. I will try anything to get them to heal!!

I was having the same problem. Motherlove nipple cream was my savior and trust me I notice when i forget to put it on for too long. I also try to massage my breast to make the milk easier to get at. My daughter has bruised me a few times so i feel your pain. Just some things that have really helped me.

@texxie you can always ask your doctors if they have prescription nipple cream. My pediatrician has a nipple ointment that they created with a local pharmacy that made a huge difference for me! Good luck with breastfeeding!

I had this until about a week and a few days pp it goes away I promise keep at it mama ?

Our pediatrician is very pro breastfeeding and when we were talking about it he asked a lot of questions. He asked what I would be using for cracked nipples and I told him I planned on using coconut oil. He said that was fine and then told me not to wipe the breastmilk off my nipples after he feeds. Abel is 2 weeks old and my nipples haven’t cracked at all yet. It does hurt when he first latches but once he gets his groove it doesn’t hurt at all.

I didn't know either until I googled natural remedies for cracked nipples. My right nipple was so bad I couldn't handle the pain anymore.

Thanks ladies!! I didn't know about the aloe vera. I'll try to find a plant and see if that'll work for me. I'm in excruciating pain but I know I have to nurse through it so it can heal And keep up my milk

It gets better after a week. After 2 weeks, I had no more pain. I kept taking my Motrin (prescribed for my 1st degree tear) and it helped a lot while my nipples healed. And lanolin after every feed.

Your nipples will hurt for a bit and I tried the same nipple cream at first but I honestly found that squeezing a bit of my breast milk onto my nipple was soo much better. The cracking healed super fast and I haven't had an issue with it since ?

The pain will last about a week until your nipples heal. Mine were bad this time around and what helped was aloe vera. I would cut one open and apply the gel on my nipples and let it dry. I did have to clean it off with warm water before every feeding but my nipples finally healed with it.
