Dear Seema,

According to a LLL article, which can be found here:
http://www.lalecheleague.org/llleaderweb/LV/LVFebMar00p10.html

"In some locations, wet tea bags remain a popular folk remedy for the
treatment of nipple pain.  They are inexpensive and can be found in most
homes, making them easily accessible at the onset of difficulties.  They may
be soothing because of the moist warmth.  Tea bags have been the subject of
a number of studies; they appear neither to prevent nor reduce nipple
soreness (Lavergne 1997).  Furthermore, the tannic acid in the tea can act
as an astringent causing drying and cracking, rather than healing."
