During the first few weeks of nursing my nipples were very sore, even though baby had a good latch (this is normal). The Nansinoh lotion with natural lanolin helped a lot and was especially good because baby could nurse even with it applied. But what gave me the most relief was the LANACare nursing pads. They are made of 100% wool (which is where lanolin comes from), and are very soft and comfortable. After sleeping with them on for a couple of days my nipples felt much better. Also, the nursing pads are not as obvious under your clothes as the other store bought ones. They are a bit on the expensive side, but well worth it.
