Sore, injured nipples due to breastfeed
I'm a lactating mother with 3.5 months old baby. I've got painful nipples with minor cuts which are slightly bleeding. I'm applying nipple butter and warm compresses but they are not helping because baby feeds in every 2-3 hours and nipples are not getting time to heal. Please suggest what to do.
