Many mothers with newborns share a common bond through pain, sore nipples. Of course, before anything you should consult a Lactation Specialist but while waiting for our appointment we have found these to be quite helpful in reducing the pain.

The Medela Contact Nipple Shield shouldn't be used for every feeding but mixing it into some of the feeding cycles may relieve some of the pains from improper latching.

This Lanolin cream "Tender Care" by Medela is safe for baby and provides great relief for dry and cracked nipples. These are not intended as a solution to sore nipples but merely some relief until you are able to consult a professional.
