A. dear Mum until the wound avoid feeding baby from the side that is cracked it will be painful for you is best to apply breastmilk to cracked nipple especially hind milk. it has great healing properties. don't wear bra until healed and let it air dry. 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
