Linda,
After dealing with the root cause of soreness: I recommend Lansinoh for moms
who have abraded or cracked nipples, to reduce pain (coat nerve endings that
were never meant to be exposed to air); prevent scabbing (scabs come off
everytime baby nurses); and promote moist wound healing. For moms with no
damage, I recommend expressed milk/colostrum.
