• Breastfeeding isn’t always as easy as it looks. It might take  a few tries and some help to teach the baby and yourself.
• In the first days of breastfeeding, your nipples may feel tender and can also become cracked and even bleed. Using a nipple cream or butter will help reduce any dryness and pain as your body adjusts to this change! 
• Nipple cream is sometimes referred to as "Lanolin cream," but there are great non-lanolin based alternatives on the market.

Safety:

• If you are breastfeeding, you must ensure that all products that touch your nipple are safe for the baby​.
• Double check with your pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns about using a product on your nipples.

Start with one bottle/tube and see how it goes.

Your hospital will provide you with a saline solution to soak your nipples after breastfeeding, as well as nipple cream. Make sure to take both home with you to continue using as needed​. ​If you have leftovers, you can always use these on anything that needs moisturizing​, so don’t worry about having extra.
