hi ladies
I have a 6 day old ds who i am bf'ing, however my left nipple is cracked, bleeding and bloody painful! my right side is very sore but i am still managing to feed but the left has become literally impossible. I gave ds formula this morning as i just couldnt bare the pain. i really dont want to give up as i know this is what is best for him and he wasnt too keen on the formula anyway. what can i do?
feed from the right and express from the left?
nipple shields?
i have no clue and desperate for advice!
thanks
