Sore on nipple

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Ds2 has been nursing nonstop, and he's also become fond of using his teeth when he decides he full. I get a bit with no warning (but only on the right side) and now I have a sore (read broken skin, small amount of blood) on my right nipple and it hurts like you know what when he latches onto that side. What do I do to heal it, how do I nurse him on that side without screaming in pain? Help me please!!

You could apply pure lanolin for moist wound healing, and consider different nursing positions to see if there's less pressure on that area? Good luck, and I hope you heal soon, Mama!

Thanks! I've been putting lanolin on it and that's helped, it also hurts less if we're laying down and he nurses on that side, but this morning he bit me again! Grr!
