Things You'll Need:

Step 1
Lately I have spoken to many women who have been nursing their children, and they have been telling me how much it hurts when the baby is nursing. I have asked them if they were taught how to prepare their breast and every one has told me no. Many years ago when I had my first child I was told to "prepare"my breasts so I thought I would share these few tips with you.

Step 2
First,while at home do not wear a bra. Let your nipples rub against your shirt.

Step 3
Another thing you can do is take a face cloth or a towel and rub it back and forth against your nipples. The idea is to toughen them up. One more tip is just to roll your nipple between your fingers. I know this sounds crazy, but believe me it helps. I had 5 children, nursed every one of them and never, not once did I have a problem.
