Girls, I urgently have very deep cracks on my nipples. But despite the pain, I still feed the baby. Is this dangerous for the baby? Sometimes it bleeds.

Cracks on the nipples can be very painful and may lead to infection. Bleeding can also increase the risk of transmitting the infection to the baby. It is recommended to consult a doctor or a breastfeeding consultant for advice on caring for the cracks and preventing potential complications. You may need to use creams or ointments to heal the cracks and reduce pain. It is also important to properly latch the baby to the breast to avoid further irritation of the nipples.

Apply Bepanthen or lanolin to the breasts more frequently and generously.

Try feeding with breast shields, I only fed with them. Once it heals, remove them.

I had deep cracks; I applied Purelan and covered them with a sachet, only then did they heal. If I just applied it and covered it with a pad, it didn't help much; the ointment was absorbed by the pad.
