Big Daddy Borrows Breastfeeding Wife’s Silverettes And Lanolin Post Sydney Marathon

If a man ever thought he was close to experiencing the raw nipple pain some breastfeeding mothers do, it’s Jathan Cook (35) who recently completed his first Sydney Marathon today.

Cook, who considers himself a bit of a natural athlete, didn’t heed the warnings of his fellow fun-runners who advised him to tape his nipples if he hadn’t done the due diligence of hardening them in the lead up.

It is this negligence that has driven Cook to sheepishly ask his currently breastfeeding wife to borrow her silverettes and lanolin, despite previously questioning their efficacy.

When asked why she lent the silver nipple hard hats, Samantha explained how it would be better to lend them to him than hear him carry on for another minute.

“Honestly, my nipples have been red raw for 8 weeks now and I haven’t complained anywhere near as much as he has in the past 48 hours”

“If it’ll buy me some peace and quiet he can borrow them, and the cool gel discs too”

With the next Sydney marathon a good 12 months away, Cook has ample time to get his body race fit, hard nipples and all.

More to come.
