#asktheexperts My nipples are sore and painful. I am a new mom. It aches a lot when I breastfeed my 1 week old baby. How can I repair the cracked nipple.

A. You can apply Boroline antiseptic cream and this kind of problem is very common so if you’re feeling a lot of pain you can also go for using a babyhug nipple shield which is going to be a good choice for you because that’s going to help in protecting your nipples and check with the doctor specially a lactation doctor if needed
