Cracked nipple?

[Stevie]

no, i havent seen a doctor, i didnt think it was serious enough to rush out asap.. but at my next app. i will def mention it.
Thing is, they dont even hurt, they just look cracked and sore. Weird.

Is it painful to the touch at all??? I had cracked nipples soon after I had DD and it hurt to the touch as well as when I was feeding! It definately will not stop you feeding, if it is actually cracked it will be mended by the time you give birth, generally only takes a few days, and thats whilst still feeding, so shouldn't stay around too long for you.

If you want to put a cream on it, I'd recommend Lansanoh (sp?) which is a lanilin cream that is recommended for use on dry, sore or cracked nipples and is safe to use during bfing, you don't have to wipe it off when bub goes on to feed.

Hope that give you the info you need!

I just had a good examine of mine, and im pretty sure we have the same thing.
Both my nipples are very cracked looking, and not sore to touch. They just look very cracked.
