Cold is best. I'm not sure where to find them, but you can buy gel packs that are made for sore nipples. You refrigerate them and put them inside your bra. The cold helps, and they are soft and conform to your shape.

You can also buy breast shells which are usually used for sore nipples while breastfeeding. They are like a donut on one side and a dome on the other. The donut goes over your nipple, and with your nipple inside the dome all the pressure of your bra and clothing is relieved.

Mine, too!

What could be going on in there to make my nipples feel like they are being outfitted with bazookas?

It hurts so much!!!!!!!!!!

And, I am assuming we shouldn't 'take' anything for it...geezzzzz, can't drink, can't caffeinate, can't medicate...didn't know what a wus I was before when I thought nothing about popping an Advil or Aleve!

But, the upside is NO CRAMPS and no cranky PMS when I can get real attitude! LOL!

I read that we should wear a good bra (I am going to try a tube top and add soft fabric over the nipples, so nothing even thinks about brushing against my nipples when straps move) and that we should put cream on our breasts and bellies which specifically prevent stretch marks.

As for the pain...I am waiting to see if someone answers and saves us!

for breastfeeding I used the gel soothing patches by gerber...maybe those would help. don't worry- the tenderness does go away!

A warm shower helps sometimes.
And try sleeping in a sports bra.
Otherwise, you just have to grin and bear it.
