Sore cracked scabbed nipples bf

Hi so I'm six days into breastfeeding my little one 3rd baby. Baby was born with tongue tie cue 24hrs of feeding left me with bleeding nipples so the tie was cut but by then the damage was done so now my right nipple is awful and extremely painful to feed from. I'm wondering if using my naturebond suction pump on the wrecked nipple while it heals would be enough to keep some supply to that breast then once nipple is better I can return to feeding?
I've never been able to pump milk but I've collected 20ml with this suction pump from my poorly nipple without pain which for me is amazing 😊 I really want to keep feeding so I'm hoping this will fill the gap any advice from mums who have done similar would be great
I'm also using Lamsinoh breast milk and airing to heal nipples nothing is getting it there quickly enough thanks

Hey this happend to me just keep pumping so your milk keeps coming or hand express, i managed to start feeding again after 5 days my baby is now 7wks and ive been fine no pain or bleeding again and my milk has came in fine.
Both mine were bleeding so it wasnt great i used nipple cream that did help me.

I had really sore and bleeding nipples, I'm now using the medela silicone nipple shields whilst feeding and it's not painful at all! I can't recommend them enough, I would have already given up without them!
