On Monday eve, 6mo ds bit me quite badly while feeding. It's quite deep and still very painful, and I am struggling to feed him or to express. He is mixed fed, probably mainly formula, but I tend to offer him the boob around 5 times a day, and express about 3 times for one of his bottles. I am trying to keep it moist with plenty of lansinoh. I am wondering if I should try to not feed and maybe only express once in say 24 hours to give it chance to heal, but trying to balance that with how it could affect the supply I have. And also wondering if there is anything else I can do to help it heal. I have been feeding him from the other side so far today, and have fed him once and expressed once from the bitten side, but I don't think I can face it again. Thank you.
