It's not at all advisable to feed from the damage nipple. Till it heals use left breast. Nipple crack cream available apply locally after cleaning with savlon three times a day. If infected you r in big problem.

• Make sure your baby is latching on well; sometimes even a slight misalignment can cause repetitive injury. • Try different breastfeeding positions or angles to reduce friction on the affected nipple. • Use a nipple cream (like lanolin) to soothe and protect the area, and allow it to air dry between feedings. • If the wound persists, worsens, or shows signs of infection (redness, discharge, or severe pain), consult with me for further evaluation and guidance. According to WHO guidelines, you should continue breastfeeding until at least 2 years of age while introducing complementary foods from around 6 months. Since your child is 1.5 years old, you can begin to gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding (i.e. start the weaning process) while offering a wider variety of semi solid, nutritious foods. This gradual transition helps ensure your child still gets essential nutrients while learning to eat more independently.
