Long story short, I burnt my nipple this week . No blister, but took off top layer of skin, it's a little weepy and it is very painful. It's on the side, not the top which is better than it could have been, I suppose.
Anyway, I'm ploughing on with bf nearly 5mo dd but it's AGONY. Keeping it exposed as much as possible waves at neighbours , using Lansinoh to soothe and heal it, and breast pads to stop it sticking to my bra!
I've never used nipple shields but am seriously considering it to help poor ole nippy heal. Would it cause bf problems? Dd doesn't take bottles and I really don't want to fuck it all up when it's been going so well.
You may now point and laugh. I am a twat, I know
