I was so worried when they got sore, but my gynac said it's completely normal. Wearing a seamless, non-wired cotton bra made a huge difference.

If you are working, use soft breast pads inside your bra to prevent painful friction during the day. It is a quick and practical fix.

It is just your hormones preparing for breastfeeding. Avoid using harsh soaps on that area and wear loose cotton clothes.

Mummy suggested applying a little pure virgin coconut oil after taking a bath, and it really helped soothe the soreness.

I gently applied a tiny bit of pure ghee or a doctor-approved nipple cream, which brought a lot of relief.
