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. Mary Graden LLL Idaho
