DS, 6 months old, is EBF. Used to take 1 bottle of EBM once a day but recently started refusing it.
Nipples have become extremely sore and painful the last couple of days and today I noticed bleeding from nipples with extreme pain. I can't carry on like this, the pain is so so bad and I can't even give baby a bottle!
I will try nipple shields- heading out to boots to grab a pair now but wonder if he'll even take it.
BF has been practically problem-free since birth and i've no idea what caused this extreme pain and cracking.
Any ideas? I'm on the verge of giving up BF but can't because babes will starve!!
Any ideas appreciated.
