Clean with salt water and apply nipple balm

Is that your nipple?

@Jasmine yes x

Ouch! That’s the worst! When my daughter started to do that I cut her off 😂

When she bites just set her down say no bite, and give her something she can bite. Mine bit me TWICE. I did this both times, I will admit I like flopped him on his butt not so gently and say no bite, not nice in a stern tone and got him a teether and after the second time he learned. He’s never but my boob again. Both times he was teething his front teeth, so they where just popping through the skin… he’s now 11mo and bites on purpose but not when feeding he knows bitting when feeding means he gets no more milk milks. 🫣 Also if they’re biting they are not feeding. So my rule of thumb is if he’s not actively sucking and swallowing, he gets removed. The exception being nursing to sleep. It will heal rather quickly you’d be surprised, but just antibacterial soap like they give you PP, or sea salt and as hot of water as you can stand make sure it’s mixed well and put it in a shot glass and swish wish like you would if you got it pierced. Plain table salt can aggravate it… 🫶🏻

I had this exact cut a few weeks ago, mine wasn’t from a bite but my son liked to pull back on the boob while feeding and it split in the exact same place yours is.. damn that was excruciating for weeks until I finally figured out there was a slow developing tear there🤦🏽‍♀️. I have gentian violet and I put that on there and it sorted itself out in 2 days! Felt so stupid as I suffered for weeks lol

@Shay what’s a gentian violet? x
