Hi,

I am 33wks pregnant and have had really sore nipples a couple of times when I have got out of the bath.  It feels like the skin has been stripped off them!  A couple of days later the soreness has gone but they are covered in dry skin.  Has anyone else had this and if so what did you do to prevent/sooth them?  I cant remember this happening in my last pregnancy.

Thanks, Lou xx

hi, i haven't had it this pregnancy, but with my first i did, i used some cream called kamillosan which u can buy from pretty much anywhere, it works woders, and even better u can use it once u have ur baby and have sore nipples from feeding (if ur planning on breast feeding that is) u don't have to wipe it off between feeds, and u can use it on all sorts of cuts, grazes too :) hope this helps, take care, and good luck x

hi lou

wilkoms is spot on i breast fed wiv my first n plannin on doin for my second! the cream works wonders! mothercare id the only place i can think that does it!

Thanks Guys, I think I used that when I breastfed my first.  I will go and get a tube as no doubt will need it for when I'm breastfeeding again anyway. Thanks! Lou xx
