A. Hello mommy, There are several home and store-bought options for treatment. Apply Freshly Expressed Breast Milk. Smoothing freshly expressed breast milk onto cracked nipples may help them heal by offering antibacterial protection. Warm Compress. Salt Water Rinse. Apply Medical Grade Lanolin Ointment. Change Nursing Pads Frequently. Research shows warm, moist heat is soothing for sore nipples and can help your skin heal faster. To use moist heat, run a clean washcloth or cloth diaper under warm (not hot) water, squeeze out the extra water and place it directly over your nipple.
