1. General Breast Care
Basic care is important during breastfeeding
- Wash your breasts daily. Avoid putting soap on your nipples, especially if they are sore. Soap may dry your nipples and cause them to crack.
- Wear a well-adjusted bra that is not too tight. Do not wear a bra with underwires.
- After breastfeeding, express some breast milk into the nipples and the areolas in order to protect the skin. Allow the milk to dry before putting on your bra.
