Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. May be due to biting
for sore nipple as well as painful nipple you will have to give rest to that breast and nipple for few days and do not give breastfeeding from that side.
nipple creams are available for healing.
you can also apply your own breast milk to decrease the soreness.
if the pain is severe you can take paracetamol also
if there is rash as well as cut on the nipple you can apply t bact cream for healing.
if there is no improvement then kindly meet your doctor

RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl3 years agoA. Maybe The child is pressing it hard or maybe you’re not getting sufficient feed which is why your nipples are hurting anyways there is no such advantage of feeding the child after the age of one year so if you want you can quit also it’s a very good time for you to give up on breastfeeding
