Tender breast!

Hi,

DD's tooth has been pressing against my nipple and has created a small wound! Now this morning my breast is very tender and sore (not red yet)!

I've pumped remaining milk off and applied Hypericum/Calendula cream on to the wound.

Any more advise to make me better?

Many thanks.

oooh bad luck

keep it dry and aired if you can and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected

you can rub a little milk into the nipple as well - it has antibac properties!

Thanks for that. About an hour after posting I started with a fever and got full blown infection!! Had to start antibiotics and feeling better now. Nipple and breast still sore!! Oh well!!!
