Nipple crack and infection breastfeeding
I have a 100 day old baby. Around 90 days of him I had cracked nipples on both my breasts. It was infected and took antibiotics and painkillers. Now the infection has been cured. But still I get sever stabbing pain when latching. It gets worse in the night. Im still on pain killers. Does it take so long to cure.
How long can a breastfeeding mom take pain killers. I'm taking lyser d. And also applying nipcare frequently.does this affect my baby

No nipcare will not affect the baby
You can use a nipple shield so that the crack heals faster
