I have a deep crack on one of my nipples which seems to be taking ages to heal. I'm expressing on that side as too painful to feed baby directly at the moment. It's not infected. I'm using Lansinoh ointment and Jelonet dressings, but it's healing very slowly and can't see an end to the whole expressing palava! Any ideas or advice from mums who've been there? I have tried feeding him on the boob for the odd feed, and it is getting better. I've worked hard on correcting the latch on this side, after the initial damage!
