Q.

#AskTheExpert My baby doesn't like to feed from the bottle and I have a severely cracked nipple and I am continuing to feed him with that by taking 2 paracetamol a day for pain. Is it a problem to continue breastfeeding with a cracked nipple?

A. I have tried everything 1st i gave my cracked nipple 3 days break and applied fheal triticum vulgare aqueous extract cream one nipple healed another didn't. Then took a 15 days break and applied nip care and sucralfate with mupirocin ointment all after consulting doctors still had no good results. Now I have asked the doctor if I can continue breastfeeding with painkillers as my son doesn't like bottle feeding she gave me green light. Now I don't know what to do?

A. For your craft nipples apply Boroline anti septic cream and cover it with cabbage leave leave it this way and when you have to feed your child clean it properly and use a nipple shield while feeding the child that is going to be helpful and over the period your nipples are going to be sorted because by the time of three months having cracked nipples is not at all good
