How to Ease Chapped and Sore Boobs and Nipples During Pregnancy?

Question

Hi everyone, I am currently 17+2 weeks pregnant and experiencing leaking, swollen, sore, and chapped boobs. Can anyone suggest ways to alleviate this pain? Will it continue until the baby is born?

Answer 1

Hi, 

So I had the same problem. But my mom found solutions to help with it. I am not sure if it will work for you because every woman is different. But i use Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream. You can use this after the baby is born too. If your breastfeeding, you have put it on before you even feed your baby and you don't even have to wipe it off. You can leave it on. Another solution is a bra... like a soft night wearing bra could help. I know there are more stuff out there that can help you. But those ones helped me. I hope they do for you. If they dont, you can always talk to your doctor about it or look online.
