How to heal a cracked nipple quickly

Female friends are very concerned about their breasts. They not only care about the size and shape of their breasts, but also take care of their breasts regularly to prevent sagging. At the same time, the breast is also a very vulnerable area, and female friends should pay attention to protecting their breasts. However, some breastfeeding women are prone to nipple rupture. How should they be treated to make nipple rupture heal quickly?

First of all, you should apply a hot towel to your breasts frequently. If your milk is swollen, remember not to apply it to the nipples, but apply it around the breasts. You can apply it on your nipples if your breasts are not swollen, but the towel should be very soft. Some people say to apply it before breastfeeding. Of course, if conditions permit, it is best to apply it before breastfeeding. Personally, I think you can apply it whenever you have free time.

Secondly, there are some things to pay attention to when dressing. If your nipples are broken, it is best not to wear tight clothes, or clothes made of hard materials or of poor quality. Secondary pain is easy to occur, so choose some light and soft clothes.

Also, if your nipples are broken, never use nipple stickers. You may feel good when using them, but after using them it will only aggravate your wound and make you very dependent on them. Also, don't rely on a breast pump, as it will cause nipple edema and deformation.

Then, after each feeding, apply sesame oil (black sesame oil is best because sesame oil can be eaten raw and does not need to be wiped off every time you feed. Rapeseed oil is also good but it must be washed, otherwise the baby may have diarrhea after eating it).

Finally, nipple pain will usually last until the baby is about one month old. At this time, the breasts are already accustomed to feeding. You can rub some after-feeding milk on the nipples after each feeding, and there is no need to apply sesame oil. If the environment at home allows, you can let the nipples come into contact with the air more often to speed up wound healing. I have done this by cutting two holes on the chest of my home clothes. If your nipple is broken, do not use medication or stop breastfeeding easily. Do not rely on a breast pump, as this will only cause nipple edema and worsen the wound.
