Ready to Breastfeed: How to take care of your nipples?
As promised (although delayed for a day), I’ll let you know how to take good care of your nipples to have them stick out (to ease the process of breastfeeding) and to let go the dead skin cell off the surface of your nipples.
Try these steps:
- Place a small amount of baby oil or olive oil onto your thumb and pointing finger
- Pinch your nipple with the thumb and pointing finger
- Make whirl movements in different directions
- Do the same to the other breast
Remember, do it only after 37th week of pregnancy as these actions might trigger the production of oxytocin, a hormone causing contractions.
