Here are a few things to bear in mind:
A daily shower with warm water is all the cleaning a mother needs
Wash the breasts, not the nipples
Avoid soap as this has a drying effect on the skin and also washes off the natural softeners
Nipples should be kept dry
Avoid soggy or wet breast pads
Prevent cracked nipples by correctly latching and fixing the baby onto the breast
