my Nipples lol
It's day two of attempting to breastfeed and my Nipples are sore and bleeding. What can I use to help the pain? And does it get better?

It gets better! Lanolin worked for me. Also, lots of shirtless time so they can air dry if they are chapped or cracking. I promise promise it gets better.

Personally my favorite balm was earth mama angel baby nipple butter. It's safe for LO and seriously helps! Used it for like 5 months.
Coconut oil is fine too but it didn't soften the dryness for me, and lanolin ?too gunky and I think you have to wash it off before nursing? Then you're right back at square one!

My lactation consultant told me to rub breast milk on after every feed, let it dry, then apply lanolin.

Lanolin doesn't need to be wiped off before nursing. It does have a weird consistency but I found that if I warmed it up between my fingers before applying, it went on a little easier.
