Ds (15m) bit my nipple yesterday. It doesn't look bruised, no bleeding or anything, but every feed since (and he is a bit of a milk monster) is agony!
Is there anything I can do to stop it hurting?

How's his latch? They start wriggling around at this age, and teething can play havoc with their latch too. It shouldn't be uncomfortable if he's got a decent mouthful, have you tried different positions and getting him to open his mouth really wide?

His latch seems fine. It doesn't hurt at all on the other side, so I think it must be bruised from the bite.
I'm going to try some ibuprofen and see if it helps.

I remember this kind of pain. I think its either a bruise inside you can't see or some sort of friction burn on the surface - lansinoh or similar might help. Couple of days and it should be better.

Thankyou :)
In certain lights I can see some bruising.
It's still very painful to feed.
Just discovered 2 new big teeth this morning, so that explains the biteyness!
