Why is breastfeeding such a mystery? You'd think we'd have figured this stuff out by now. I have a marathon nurser with my second baby. She is a round-the-clock boob-a-holic and my nipples became raw like hamburger. I got loads of bad advice. Everything from limiting nursing (bad advice for my milk supply and baby's weight) to diagnosis with thrush (it wasn't thrush). I had fissures in my nipples. I know. It sounds bad because it is bad. These are deep cracks and a kind of scabbing over them. When the scabs got dried out between feedings, the next time the baby would latch on, she would painfully rip them off. It was eye-watering. I found these gel-pads at Target and when I applied Lansinoh and then these pads over it and kept them in place between feedings, the cracks and fissures began to heal. Thank goodness because I was really starting to question whether I could breastfeed while in that much pain. So if you have scabs and major pain, try these with the Lansinoh for a day or two. I am sure things will improve. Hang in there, mom.
Good product but consider APNO for really sore nipples September 17, 2008

I used hydrogels (not this particular brand but some made by Kendall through my hospital) to relieve nipple pain. Right out of the freezer, they provide instant relief. While nursing my second son, though, I had a persistent crack in one nipple that Lansinoh and hydrogels did not help. If you are in this situation, consider asking your doctor for a prescription for All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO), a compounded medicine available from your pharmacist that contains pain reliever, antifungal, and steroid. The APNO is the only thing that helped me heal the stubborn crack.
