Does breast pumping ruin nipples

Question

Does breast pumping ruin nipples

Answer 1

Absolutely not.  It doesn't stimulate you to produce milk exactly the way the suckling of an infant does, but it is fairly similar.  If it is uncomfortable for you, try turning down the suction on your machine.

Answer 2

no not at all

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Absolutely not - nipples are actually incredibly flexible and hardwearing. Babies suck much harder and more effectively than pumps - it is what nipples were designed for! My best advice is get a good well-fitting maternity bra, use nipple pads just for the softness, never wash your b*****s with soap and use a light nipple cream - lanolin based ones worked best for me. All going well you shouldn't need to pump too much unless you have a medical problem or plan on going back to work really quickly. Well done though - breast milk is the best gift you can give your baby - less allergies, less obesity in later life, stronger and healther all in all. Breast is best!
