Have finally come to the conclusion that my right nipple is so painful that I can no longer feed on the right hand side. I have a crack measuring 8mm by 3mm and about 2mm deep. I can't deal with the pain anymore. Have seen various HVs, doctor, spoken to BFCs to no avail. I just can't get this to heal and it's so sore I can't cope with feeding anymore.
Off to another doctor this afternoon. I think we're now at the stage that rather than trying to rescue feeding on the right, we are trying to rescue the skin on my nipple. It appears to have been in permanent vasospasm today and I'm quite concerned that the skin's going to struggle to grow back, even if I stop feeding.
Feeling seriously depressed this morning and can't stop crying. DS now 14.5 weeks and EBF.
