Why are my nipples sore from breastfeeding?
Soreness often originates from poor positioning or a latching issue. Friction with fabric from bras or clothes and the direct contact with absorbing breast pads can make matters worse. The best remedy to sore cracked nipples is your own breast milk. Shellies Breastfeeding Seashells ® let your nipples remain in close contact with breast milk and therefore soothe them more efficiently.
