Please apply hot fomentation and apply butter or your own breast milk. You can use nipple shield to avoid pain while feeding till it becomes alright. Connect with me online for further queries

Apply napkin dipped in hot water twice a day...also you can apply breast milk itself as it has amazing healing power...nip care ointment twice after breastfeeding will help... usually cracked nipples are a result of wrong position of mother and wrong application of baby... connect with me online for detailed consultation on breastfeeding...take care
