Tried and true suggestions to help women through immediate postpartum and the early days of breast-feeding. My clients have used the following suggestions with great success.

Liquid chlorophyll rebuilds body after blood loss.

Take 1-3 Tbs in juice or water per day. Eases bodily stresses, returning to work, sleep deprivation and feeling overwhelmed. Makes Dad & Gramma feel better, too!

Wearing a raw cabbage leaf over each breast can relieve initial let-down breast
engorgement discomfort.

Sore nipples during breast feeding? "Wear" teabags!

Tannic acid in black (caffeinated) tea "pulls soreness out". Soak tea bags in hot water, apply to breasts as warm as possible. Use as needed for up to three days. If soreness persists, check latch-on technique! Contact your breast-feeding support person. You may continue using tea bags after a one day break.

Vitamin E oil helps prevent cracking/soreness & speeds healing. But, nursing Mom's
are reporting that Lickety-Split Healing Balm is still the best solution for sore, cracked
nipples! Great for getting rid of diaper rash, too!

Some books that I recommend for you can be found at Amazon books.
