    Loofah.......Jesus!!!! Ouch!!!!!!

    I would be moisturising.

    No matter how much you "abuse" your nipples, nothing prepares them for breastfeeding.

    So treat them gently while you can.

    my opinion too... I haven't taken my mum's advise simply because it has been a LONG time since she was pregnant... My SIL has two little girls, 4yro and a 4wko... I figure her advice would be more accurate since she's a new/young mum

    I agree with your SIL. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. I did and I think it helped.

    I don't think anything can really prepare your nipples for breastfeeding but keep them far from the loofah. That sounds painful.
    This article might help a bit https://www.bellybelly.com.au/pregna...-to-breastfeed

    The best advice I can off is - if someone asks you what you would like as a present ask for ABA membership. Being able to access their help and support can make all the differance when you encounter a bump on the road of your breastfeeding journey.
