Good luck and enjoy your lo, congrats btw xxxx
Also, make sure your baby is properly positioned and attached to prevent any further soreness. Get a breastfeeding counsellor to check to be sure because even slightly bad positioning can cause sore and cracked nipples and get lo into bad feeding habits. xx
I also agree with lanolsol (sp?!) cream.
I was told to have a salt bath to help heal my stitches - I think it helped my sore nipples too.
