1 Answer
ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years ago
A. apply breastmilk to wounded nipple especially hind milk. it has great healing properties. don't wear bra until healed and let it air dry. creams have to be washed before breastfeeding which again dries the area and aggravates injury. 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 whenever baby bites quickly dislatch placing your little finger in the corner of the mouth . don't react sharply but explain to baby lovingly it hurts dislatch whenever you feel that the the sucking of baby has become shallow
