Ok, so this is super duper personal, but I'm wondering if you experienced cracking (dry skin) of your nipples while weaning. We're down to two nursings a day and it they're so, so sore. I don't recall my nipples cracking when we started BFing.
Just curious if someone else experienced this and what they did to remedy it.
Thanks!
Re: BFing mommies...weaning question (TMI question)
sorry, i didn't experience that.. just engorgement, but even that was not but for a couple of days, which surprised me.
i would suggest lanolin as well.
Yes, I did a quick search for weaning/cracked nipples. I'll try my Lansinoh again.
wow, no I didn't experience that either. But that sounds awful! I'm so sorry. blech, file that under "things no one told me about..."
Maybe also try to rub a bit of the breastmilk itself there a couple times a day? That might seem weird, but it has nice healing properties and would keep it a bit hydrated. And you wouldn't have to express a bunch, so it wouldn't interfere too much with the weaning process.
