Warm water on them, or an ice pack wrapped in a towel worked for me.

You may have colostrum. Have you tried squeezing a little out? I never leaked but I could get a couple drops out later in pregnancy (which is not an indication of ability to bf if you don't btw)

I put my thumb on the top of my breast closer to the chest wall and my four fingers on the bottom then slowly, gently squeeze down towards the areola. If nothing comes out don't get discouraged or force it. If clear/yellow/white liquid does lightly swirl it around your nipple and then let air dry.

No cream, it can make it worse. Try not wearing a bra. Your nipples may get sore from a tight bra, from being warm, or from chemicals in the fabric or things you wash it in.
sounds scary is this normal?
