A. If you're experiencing bleeding from your nipples while breastfeeding, it's essential to first address the underlying cause, which may include issues like cracked or sore nipples, a poor latch, or infections such as mastitis. To continue breastfeeding, you should ensure that your baby has a proper latch to minimize discomfort. Before feeding, apply a small amount of breast milk or lanolin cream to the affected area to soothe and promote healing. Try to feed your baby in different positions to alleviate pressure on the sore spots. If the bleeding persists or is severe, consult a healthcare professional or a lactation consultant for advice tailored to your situation. They can provide additional techniques for pain relief and ensure that your baby is feeding effectively while you recover. Meanwhile, allow your nipples to air dry after feeds and consider using breast pads to absorb any leakage while protecting your clothing.
