Not really, but there are materials that will help prevent sore nipples from developing. Infections develop in moist environments, so choosing a breastfeeding clothes material that permits air flow is important. You’ll also want a material that is soft and doesn’t chafe. For all those reasons, cotton breastfeeding clothes are probably your best option. If the soreness persists, consult your doctor about the best nursing techniques and treatments.
