any tips for sore nipples? I'm not breast feeding or anything and I'm sure most of my milk is gone b/c I haven't really leaked but my nipples are very sore...

I tried regular lotion but its not working.

any ideas, advice?

    You could try lanolin, it's supposed to sooth sore nipples.  Or they make some soothing gel pads to put in your bra.  Both are sold in the aisle with BFing supplies.

    The hydrogels may be good!  I also heard that cabbage leaf compresses can help.  I haven't tried that one myself, but a friend of mine mentioned it to me once...

    I did the cabbage leaves in the bra trick. It really worked for me! Make sure you change them pretty regularly, I forgot since I was so busy with DD and I couldn't figure out where the sauerkraut smell was coming from.... yeah it was me. :-)
