 Topic: Help cracked nipples
Posted: 06 April 2011 at 11:40am |

Help please. I am in so much pain. Last week my we boy got thrush in his mouth. And although it has gone now and my nipples no longer have thrush i have bad cracks around the outside.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get them to heal quickly?

Just the usual, air dry and lots of lanisol cream. And time. Ouch, i can still remember that. The good news is they do usually heal pretty quick.

Lanisol cream, lots a fresh air and rub milk on them after every feed and let it dry. You need to let them breathe well so dont wear tight stuffy tops. Good luck

Pawpaw ointment is really good too and it doesn't need to be wiped off before feeding.
We got thrush too so I feel your pain! It's nasty!

I invested in a pair of avent breast shells, meant I could get plenty of fresh air around the nipples, without leaking everywhere, although I dont wear them out as they are rather conspicuous!
I also used lansinoh and within 48 hours my cracks had healed, good luck!

Daktarin oral gel for your nips to get rid of the thrush!
Try the lansinoh or pawpaw for healing, and if you want a cheap alternative to breast shells for getting clothes off your nips, cut out egg carton cups and use them instead.
Soak all underwear in napisan (and/or canesten laundry liquid if you have it) to kill the bugs.
And if the sun comes out, get 'the girls' out as much as poss.
Luck luck luck!
