DS bit (well clamped) me whilst feeding 4 weeks ago (right side). It continued to be absolute agony to feed him, so went to GP and was prescribed some antibiotic cream. She said the reason it was hurting was the wound had gone deep and had cristalised inside, so every time DS fed, it was breaking through that and opening the wound up inside. He only has a couple of night BFs now, so I'm expressing off that side before bed, then feeding off the other.

However, I've noticed that when I express my nipple is black at the end! Any experts reading this who might be able to advise me about this??? - normal colour as soon as I stop expressing. It doesn't hurt to express but still agony to feed.

Also, the left boob is now noticably bigger than the right when I wear u/w bra in the daytime, please tell me this will even out???

TIA
