There is a protocol for moist soaks both before and after each nursing
that has been helpful for cracked nipples.  E-mail for exact
description. It is important to keep the
breast from being overfull whenever there are sore nipples.  I always try
to explain to mothers that the breast tissue is the least compressible
between the hard gums and the relatively incompressible milk stored in
the breast.  Also babies chomp that much harder if they are really starving.
