Lanolin! Lanisoh brand is endorsed by la leche league and you don't have to wash it off before you nurse like you do with Vaseline. Don't use soap on your nipples as it will dry them out. Your breasts naturally secrete oils that both lubricate and sterilize your nipples.

There are also nipple shields for when they get really sensitive

Nipple cream or a little vaseline can do the trick
