Someone asked about whether breast milk is beneficial or detrimental to the nipples, and I just came across this in my text: 
 
From Counseling the Nursing Mother, 5th ed., page 390: "Many practitioners recommend that the mother apply her expressed milk to the sore area and allow for air-drying of the areola.  Breastmilk was found to heal nipples faster than using lanolin (Mohammadzadeh et al., 2005)."

Breastfeed early, and breastfeed often.
It's just like voting.
