Cracked bleeding nipples - breastfeeding
Hi, I've been feeding my 7 days old baby and have cracked nipples now. They're bleeding and hurts very very badly when I'm feeding. I'm using silicon shield but it hurts the same. Please help me with some suggestions.

Connect please for understanding proper attachment and position for efficient breastfeeding. U can apply alovera gel. U can apply breast milk also after feeding the baby. Clean the nipple area with clear water after every feed.
