BFing four day old DS2 and my nipples are shredded so I'm thinking of expressing and cup feeding for a few days to let them recover (I did this fine with DS1). I'm getting great support from the BFN with his latch but he's tongue tied, hence the difficulties. He's booked to have it snipped at an NHS clinic at their next appointment in a month Seriously considering getting a private lactation consultant to do it...
Anyway, I'm sure I read somewhere on MN recently that you can get dressings (Jel-o-net?) that can aid healing. Is this right or did I dream it?
TIA!
