Breastfeeding/Lactation Consultant

If you can, try seeing an LC about your latch.  Also, someone more knowledgeable should weigh in here but consider getting an Rx for "all purpose nipple ointment."  It has an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal & anti-inflammatory ingredients. You have to get it made up at a compounding pharmacy or a hospital pharmacy.  Lanisoh and breastmilk are not good for thrush, a yeast infection in your nipples. Sore nipples are very susceptible to thrush and the APNO will help prevent infection.  Also check out kellymom.com for info about sore nipples.  Good luck mama!http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/index.html

The PP gave wonderful information. Have you seen an LC to work on the latch at all? The info she gave on APNO is great too.
