Apply breast milk on nipple. Breast feeding technique if not adequate. Baby latches only on nipple, is one of the common reason for cracked nipple. Spoon feeding is safe.

Hi. No it wont harm.
Cracked nipple should be treated so that she latches on to breast again. You can use nipple shield. Bottle is never preferred unless inevitable
