So I've made it to 2 weeks despite having one very cracked sore nipple. I thought I had turned a corner and nipple was healing but just tried to feed lo and it's was so painful and when he pulled off the whole scab has ripped off and now looks worse than before. I fed him off my other breast and hand expressed what I could from the sore one as couldn't face the pump right now.
Now don't know what to do for next feed. I have some formula here from when I was struggling before so could give that and then offer breast to finish as worried he won't get enough from feeding from one breast alone. I plan to keep expressing from sore nipple until it's healed that I can latch him on again. Sorry for rambling on just in despair again and don't want to stop breast feeding. Any help to get through this would be great
