A. Looks like you have nipple cracks. You can purchase nipple shield which can be worn as a cap on the nipple. You can feed directly while feeding too. Apply nip care cream

A. Hello dear parent! Try using a nipple shield while breastfeeding your baby. It reduces the discomfort. Try applying warm compress on the paining area in between feeds. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby.
