Breastfeeding injury
Show your support
I’m gonna go to a women’s health urgent care to get the wound looked at. I just have to go tomorrow when I can go to work late
Every time she’s bitten me I take her off and don’t put her back on for at least another 30 mins She learned to bite right at the end of her feed so she doesn’t care🥲
Have you tried nipple shields?
@Roxy yes! I used them a ton in the beginning Now the silicone just makes her play around more and be rougher I still got sore with the nipple shield I’ll probably use once I’m better and get her used to it since the biting is rough
I would say the milk would be good as it comes out the spout of a clean source it's not really touching the flesh unless the sore is right on the exit of the nipple. The only bit the sore should be in contact with is the silicone funnal. Unless it's infected and weeping
Afaik it's okay for baby to drink milk from a nipple that has an open wound (remember some women get cracked nipples and bleed and it's okay to still feed that milk to your baby)
Update: I’m healed 😭
I'm not sure about your question but would think it's ok, is there a breastfeeding support service in your area you could ask? I just wanted to comment to say it might sound harsh but I'd tell your daughter not to bite you and take your nipple out of her mouth when she doe. You can give it her straight back but just the action of taking it out will help teach her to stop. A lesson you definitely want her to learn before teath.
