UPDATE: Pulling at breast (Cracked nipple advice needed)
Well, as you can tell from the subject line, the football hold did not
turn out to be my saving grace. She saw it as an opportunity to not only pull my nipple out with one hand, but two! (stinker!!) However, I am happy to report that, after trying the football for a couple of days, we have gone back to cradle and she doesn't seem to be pulling quite as bad. But, in the meantime, my poor nipple has been through the ringer and is somewhat mangled (exaggerating). Knock on wood, I didn't have any early nipple cracking with her, just severe pain. Can someone refresh my memory as to what I should do for cracked and bleeding nipples? Thanks for all your help Jodie |

Lansinoh all the time. Gob it on before and after each feeding and before
and after each shower. I had brutal bleeding nipples and the Lansinoh completely cured them in 3-4 days even while we were still perfecting DD's latch. -- Melissa (in Los Angeles) Mum to Elizabeth 4/13/03 "Jodie" wrote in message ...

I haven't been able to find it at the Babies-R-Us, Wal-mart, or Target in Tulsa, but the Babies-R-Us and Target both carry PureLan. (I've actually got an opened but never-used tube of PureLan you're welcome to; I ended up weaning myself off the Lansinoh before the tube I got by mail-order ran out.) I second the recommendation to use it frequently (I put it on after feedings and before showers). The bloody spot cleared up overnight, the smaller cracks in a couple of days. It gets on everything, though, and I can't get the greasy stains out. Phoebe |

Thanks, Phoebe. I already had a tube of Lanisnoh that I got before she
was born, and am gobbing it on (thanks Melissa ) like the dickens. It is getting better, there just seems to be on stubborn spot that is slow to heal. Jodie |
