    How to Get Relief From Cracked Nipples Naturally?

    Updated on 3 November 2023

    Being a mother is a heavenly feeling. You create and grow life with all your heart. But it does require a lot of effort and sometimes you end up neglecting your own health. One of the first things that being a mom requires is breastfeeding your baby. It gives your little one all the essential nutrition required in the initial days and paves the way for future growth. Breastfeeding cannot always be as caring and lovely as it sounds. It can cause some issues for mothers as well. As a mother, you may have to go through the pain and cracked nipples.

    Top 5 Ways to Treat Cracked Nipples Naturally

    Here are five ways that may help you treat cracked nipples naturally:

    1. Ensure Proper latching

    You need to start positioning your nipples correctly. Yes, there's a proper way of feeding milk to your baby. You have to wait for the mouth of the baby to open as wide as a yawn and then guide it towards the nipple, not just the tip of it but the whole of it. Many people also opt for breastfeeding classes. It will help you avoid any pain in future as well as cracked nipples.

    2. Apply healing creams

    We have always healed our wounds via some healing cream. Cracked nipples too require good and genuine products to get cured. The Mylo Care Nipple Butter Cream is one such perfect product in today's market to help you heal cracked nipples.

    Unlike many other products, it is free from all toxic chemicals and is Made Safe Australia Certified. It also promises to be safe for babies. Its ingredients include a good amount of turmeric, kokum butter, cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, calendula, vitamin e, olive oil, organic beeswax and sunflower oil, which are all-natural and facilitate healing. You should definitely give this product a try to deal with your problem effectively.

    3. Compress with warm water

    A warm compress is one of the most common and effective ways of healing a lot of skin issues. It helps in soothing the skin and reducing pain.

    4. Apply ice to soften the skin of the nipple

    Cracked nipples are painful in most cases. Applying ice will help you numb the pain and relax it for a while.

    5. Use a salt water rinse

    Use a bowl and pour 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in around 250 ml of warm water and soak the nipples in the bowl for up to a minute after breastfeeding. This will help to soothe cracked nipples.

    Be sure to make a fresh solution every time you soak the nipples to prevent any bacterial infection.

    Take care of yourself

    What all moms do while fulfilling their responsibilities is forget to take care of themselves and eventually forget to get to the root causes of the problem. Start taking care of yourself along with fulfilling your responsibilities as a mother. After all, only a healthy & happy mother is able to raise a healthy baby.
