#AskTheExpert My baby is 18 days old. I used nipple shield in the 1st few days as my baby was not able to latch on my nipple. Then i started feeding by myself. Now I am having struggle with nipple crack. I have been using Nipcare for more than 10days had improvement in the begining but still having pain. Feel like not to breast feed her again. Is there a remedy?
