Do not put the baby’s mouth or lips from your nipple. Instead, press the breast nearest the baby’s mouth to release the suction and thus avoid tugging the nipples and making it sore.
To prevent the cracking of nipples, hold the baby in a different nursing position each feeding session so that the nipples will crease in different directions.
Do not wash nipples with alcohol or water before feeding time; this may eliminate the naturally secreted oils that protect the nipples from drying up. Daily bathing is enough for overall body cleanliness.
