My last post about blow drying sounding ouchy, reminded me of something
else I heard recently. A nurse at our hospital said that another hospital
she worked at had  blow dryers on the post partum wards so moms could
blow dry their nipples before "putting their breasts away" She said that
moisture and friction could cause soreness. But to me, blow drying sounds
 like an excellent way to cause chapped cracked nipples. Look what
happens when your face gets wind burned. I can understand not wanting to
trap moisture with plastic lined breast pads  but wouldn't just a not too
tight bra dry the nipples well enough with out over drying them?
I hadn't heard of this blow dryer thing before.
