Sonam PatelMom of a 5 yr old child1 Year agoA. Hi mommy, hugs. I can totally understand that nipple cracks can be painful. Please take help from lactation experts or elders at home to learn the feeding techniques. Sometimes wrong position too causes cracks. There are certain creams like nipcare available in market which is helpful. You can also consult your doctor and get some meds prescribed. If it's bleeding too then i would suggest you to give a little break to feeding. You can try formula instead. Trust me it's okay to give formula. You can ask the pediatrician about the brand suggestion. I had given Aptamil Gold stage 1 formula milk to my baby at this age. It has prebiotics and HMOs and is said to be closest to breast milk as HMOs is third largest component of breast milk. Take care. Hope it gets better.
