Breast nipple cut by breast feeding

Asked by Female, 31 ยท 10 days ago

Breastfeeding-related nipple cuts and cracks are frequent and typically heal with basic treatment. After every feed, gently clean the region, allow it to air dry, and then apply a tiny bit of safe nipple cream, such as Medela PureLan or Lansinoh Lanolin Cream. A bad latch frequently results in these injuries, so make sure the infant is latching correctly. You can carry on nursing, beginning with the less uncomfortable side. See a physician or lactation consultant if there is excruciating pain, bleeding, pus, or no healing within a few days.
