What kind of nipple soreness are you talking about, Julia?  Some women experience a minute of soreness at the beginning of nursings that gradually disappears over the first couple of weeks.  Or do you mean soreness caused by damaged tissue, thrush...?

Once you know what you're dealing with and have an idea of the mom's comfort level with mainstream / alternative treatments, you can choose from among those things that have some evidence behind them.  Personally, I tend towards the easiest, which is EBM, unless you're dealing with thrush, of course.

I have a question for all you brilliant women;

What is your treatment of choice for nipple soreness in the early days. I have just finished reading a ton of studies and am at a loss. So what is it; lanolin, peppermint oil, hydrogels, EBM...????

Thanks for advice or suggestions;
