What to do????? Left nipple got sore after a lazy latch one day and now there is a small gash at top of nipple where LO's teeth appear to have slightly punctured the skin. It really hurts and her teeth go in the same place every feed!
We are down to 3 feeds a day but she always wants both sides and screams if I refuse. I am scared I get an infection in the nipple now.
Was trying to stop bfing but she seemed to get so depressed about it I have kept going but I need some advice now. Any suggestions??????
Will nipple heal on it's own or will the 3 feeds keep it unhealed? I'm waffling but am soooo sore and dreading feeds now.
