I got one from Walgreens! They have them at Walmart, target and the pharmacies. Get some lanisol too

Is there a certain size ? Or do they come in one size

they come in different sizes. I got a 24mm which I learned is a pretty basic size. It fit pretty good.

Target. The medela ones are the best. There is also medicated nipple cream. It expensive and there isn’t a lot but it works wonders!

oh okay & I think so , in the beginning his latch was perfect then out of nowhere it started to get painful . Now it’s here and there but since my nipples are cracked in the same spot on both nipples it’s hard for it to heal so soon as he latches it breaks the skin . It’s not like pouring out blood or anything lol I’m just able to see a little bit in the crack. I don’t think it bleeds while he’s feeding it’s more so a little while after

yea, I was able to call my OB and they sent it in without seeing me. Try to pull you nipple out a little bit before latching and don’t be afraid to take him off and relatch him. My one nipple is still sore. So I’ve been dealing with this stuff too.
