I had dry nipples/ cracked nipples as well after my son was born. My nurse told me to put a little of my own breast milk on them and let them dry. Crazy enough - it worked - I nursed for 2 years! But I guess this is only a solution after the baby is born... :-)Thought I'd throw that out there!

You know, I bet Neutrogena Hand Cream would help heal the girls before baby arrives. Anytime I have a painfully dry patch anywhere, it's Neutrogena to the rescue.

And, of course, there's Bag Balm. In the even you don't already feel like a cow (as I do), Bag Balm is a salve made for dry cow udders. Even the web site says, "Helps soothe bruised, sore or injured teats."...of course, it's cow teats.

It's now sold as intense hand therapy for humans, as they discovered farmers who used Bag Balm had the lovliest hands. Again, I wouldn't use it while nursing, but to heal yourself before hand, it might not be a bad idea. :)

Oh...and a Wikipedia entry about Bag Balm, proving I'm not crazy:

Sar2222 I also had that and used the Lansinoh cream and it worked great... they also say not to use soap on the nipples as it drys them ....

can't wait to hear when baby cam makes his Grand Enterance!

Sar, look in the breastfeeding section... there's a productin a yellow package... it's all natural i think and safe EVEN when you're actually breastfeeding... it may be from Medela... my sister used it when she was breastfeeding my nephew and her nipples would get cracked and dry. I hope you can find it and your nipples get better.

Breast question (dry)

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 07:01:04 -0500

I really hope this is not too graphic to post...so sorry if it's TMI but I need to get this taken care of in the next few days.

I've been having dry nipples for a few weeks now. Not cracked, just dry and not directly on the nipple but more around the areola and close up to the base of my nipples. Itchy and dry. I've been using the curel pregnancy/motherhood cream and I love it but if I forget a day, my nipples get bad all over again. So what can I about this? I'm goin in to have the baby by induction on Thurs, May 1st and I don't want to start breastfeeding with dry nipples. I'm sure the baby will do a number on them on his own. So any advice???
