Hello, I recently gave birth and would like some advice. I am expressing milk, but my breasts are very sore, and I have cracks on my nipples. I am applying ointment, but nothing seems to help so far. I can't breastfeed at the moment.

Everyone goes through this. Keep applying the compresses; your breasts will heal, and you'll get used to it. Everything will be okay.

If it hurts, it might be a sign of a blocked milk duct. In that case, it's even more important to apply the compresses as often as possible and gently massage the affected area.

I had to bring my child along; I endured it.

Aleksandra After giving birth, I experienced severe nipple pain for about a week. I had small cracks, but each feeding was like a spark in my eyes. Please hang in there a little longer. Apply a special nipple ointment more frequently, and it will get easier. I understand what you're going through.

Yes, this is a common issue. Apply more and more often. It will pass, and your nipples will get used to it.

When was this recently? During my first week, both of my breasts were also bleeding, and the grip was correct. Please be patient and keep applying Bepanten or whatever you have—things will get better.

Olga Kulikova Regarding pumping, manually expressing milk was extremely painful, but using a breast pump was somewhat easier.

Apply petroleum jelly. If you're looking for a more affordable alternative, try lanolin — it works well. Also, make sure your baby is latching onto the breast correctly. Sometimes, even if the latch is good initially, the baby may slip off during feeding, which can cause discomfort. Sensitivity varies from person to person. In my case, my nipples hurt terribly during the first month, but they gradually toughened up, and it became easier.

The Panthenol cream works wonderfully to heal and soothe your skin. It's an excellent choice for promoting recovery and comfort.
