Hello fellow Lactnetters,
About this peroxide thing; I had severely traumatized nipples due to my
youngst sons incorrect suck and bubble palate. I, too was told to use
peroxide, full strength on my nipples. I did this one time and one time
only. It was EXCRUTIATING!!! Yes, I yelled and sobbed when I did it. I
washed it off as quickly as possible, but the pain took a while to go away.
The person, a nurse at my hospital, told me that "it won't hurt, Dear." I
called her later that day and set her straight. I recall not being very nice
about it either. But, I think she understood and forgave me. :) Anyway, I
think that if I had been told to dilute it 1/2 and 1/2 with water that would
have made a BIG difference. I would NEVER reccommend full strength peroxide
on cracked and bleeding nipples. The pain of the nipples is bad enough
without adding peroxide to it. When you get a nasty cut or a large scrape
and you pour peroxide on it, it stings right? Well, do that to already sore
nipples and you can kiss composure goodbye. It hurts like He__, guys.
