Accepted Answer

dear mum , it is fine if u want to continue breastfeed it is not a harmful habit that u have to get rid of. till 2 yrs is recommended
apply breastmilk to cut it has healing property 
avoid wearing bra until heal , loose clothing
if latch becomes shallow or child sucking at nipple only child may bite so dislatch by placing ur little finger in corner of child mouth
dont react / shout but put child away and say firm no for child to get message

Answer

Femite is a good option for you to apply to get rid of breastfeeding and since you have to feed the child do not want to quit or if you do not want to quit as of now then you can use a nipple shield while feeding the child this will help in protecting your nipples and along with that because they will be covered you will not get hurt also
