Should you wash your nipples before breastfeeding?
Answer: NO.
Washing your nipples before breastfeeding isn’t necessary because the breasts and the skin around the nipple produces good bacteria and the baby needs to know the smell of the mother and not of soap.
When babies are born, they are already very familiar with their own mother’s smells and sounds. The nipples produce a substance that the baby smells and this ‘good bacteria’ helps to build babies’ own healthy immune system for life, as well as helps to prevent infections on the mother’s breast.
