Its common on early months of breast feeding . But make sure its not infected. Need to wash thoroughly. You can apply Nipcare ointment for one nipples and before feeding, wash the nipple thoroughly and give milk to baby. After feeding again apply ointment. Next time feed from other side breast and repeat the same as above. If its very much painful, then do milk expression into bottle and feed for few days until little healed.
