i got extremely sore and cracked nipples coutesy of the darling miss lani - terrible at attachment etc etc she is nearly 8mths old and when she has a bottle she doesn't open her mouth wide for that.

anyway my midwife asked me if i "prepared" my nipples i said nup didn't know i had to lmao (lani was my 3rd you think i would have known lol) but as nell and a few others have said lanisoh is great to use before and after.

good luck
