#asktheexperts I delivered my baby by normal delivery on 6 December. My baby is now about 1 month old. I am breastfeeding, but I have severe pain in both nipples during feeding. There are cracks on the nipples but no bleeding, and after feeding the nipples become lipstick-shaped. Because of the pain, it is sometimes very difficult for me to continue breastfeeding.
My doctor has advised warm water cotton compress . I would like expert advice on the following:
1.Is this pain mainly due to incorrect latch or could it be due to fungal or other infection?
2.Which topical cream or medicine is safe to use during breastfeeding?

Question

Accepted Answer

dear mom. 
Mostly it is due to improper latch. 
gi e your baby a comfortable feeding position and allow her al complete latch covering all areola complex. 
apply nip care cream over sore nipples.
