I have 5 week old b/g twins and am loving it I've been breastfeeding and then giving one 3 oz formula feed during the night. However, my left nipple has always been sore since little girl latched on badly to begin with. Long story short its just started bleefing ! And the pain! I was wondering if anyone has had this happen and want to know how long it took to heal. I want to carry on breastfeeding but need to give it time to heal, will this totally muck up my milk supply from that breast? I was thinking till its healed I could alternate them on my right breast and a formula feed, if that makes sense? That way at least they are both still getting some breast milk till its better. I'll be really upset if I can't continue with mostly beast milk. I did try expressing but only got 1.5oz in 40 mins :-(
Thanks in advance.
