I'm having an issue today with a cracked, bleeding nipple. I had a blister a few days ago, that I assumed was from dd having either a bad latch one night while night nursing, or from her teething, and now my nipple is bleeding and cracked today. I'm assuming it's from her tendency the past few days to just rip off whenever she sees something out of the corner of her eye she wants to look at
: I let her nurse on that side earlier and she had some brown, very sour spit-up a little while ago, that I'm assuming was from her ingesting blood. Should I not let her nurse on that side? I'm worried about losing my supply if I don't, since she's 8 months old and I know it's really just supply and demand at this point keeping it going.
I put some lanolin on it and put some breastmilk on it earlier, but is there anything else I should do or not do? I just know dh is going to try to talk me into weaning as soon as he hears about it
He already mentioned it last night when she kept pulling off while nursing.
