These methods can ensure you and your baby both are comfortable during breastfeeding. Improper hygiene can lead to sore nipples or breast infections and many health risks to the baby too.
Dr Jagriti Varshney, a gynaecologist said, "It is very important to maintain and care for your nipples when women are breastfeeding, however it is not required to wash your nipples with shower gel or soap. Instead, one should use clear water to wash breasts during bathing."
