Bite / cut on nipple - ouch!

DD (1) has been having terrible nights and bf like a fiend, and after one particularly tough one I noticed terrible breast pain. I thought I had mastitis but I see I have an open crack/cut. It is excruciating to feed her. How can I fix this? She hardly eats anything else and is a mammoth bf'er.

Can I use just the other boob til it mends?

And how do I mend it? Has anyone had this and can give me a few pointers?

Yours, desperately!

Ouch indeed!

Breastmilk itself is a great healing agent (also good for eye infections, BTW). Try squeezing a bit onto it?
