ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist1 Year agoA. dear mum baby can be fed with the side which does not have wound
it is best to apply breastmilk to cracked nipple especially hind milk. it has great healing properties. don't wear bra until healed and let it air dry.
improper latching may have resulted in this. take care that maximum areola is in mouth of child, lower lip is curled out and chin touches breast
