I've got cuts on my boob!

[Sarah13]

I've been bitten and now Im so sore I can hardly feed on the bitten side. Im already feeling lop sided and not sure what to do. After almost a year of bf this is the most painful
Anyone fed from one side for a few days and got on ok?

 

[knopk@]

Oh no! Have you tried hand expressing from that side?


Tapatalking so cant see signatures

 

[pinkyprincess]

Oh my goodness hope you're ok? Can you pump from it?

 

[Sarah13]

Pumping hurts even more! Not sure if its infected now as watery stuff coming out

 

[vickib_1984]

are you ok??? maybe get it looked at tomorrow if its not better xxx

watery stuff is probably platelets the stuff that causes it to clot and heal if its a new cut, is the edges of the cuts red and inflamed/puffy. bathe the area with cooled boiled water with a bit of salt in it hun to disinfect it and encourage healing. only time i exclusively fed from one side was at about 3 weeks when one of my nipples was bloody and raw and i only did it for a day. take painkillers and express if you can as engorgement will only cause pain too

Thanks bev, Ill do that. It is really painful. I think his latch might have changed a bit with his new teeth as well which isn't helping!
