Hello lady's
My daughter is 5 weeks old and we've had so many ups and downs with breast feeding due to my nipples
My question is- I've got red
Swollen nipples and are very hot with red spots on them, just wondering if anyone's heard of this before?😔

Have u got nipple cream? It worked wonders for me eased the pain. They always got red but not sure about spots

Copied from Kelly Mom:

"a blister on the nipple caused by friction. This type of blister, which may sometimes be a red or brown “blood blister,” can be caused by friction from baby’s improper latch or sucking or from the use of a badly fitting nipple shield or pump. In this type of blister, the problem is nipple damage due to friction, rather than a milk duct opening being blocked. Here is information on healing broken skin in the nipple area, plus more thoughts on the causes of friction or blood blisters. Another potential cause of blister-like sores on the nipple or breast is herpes."

For the rest of the article just google 'bleb or blister' and Kellymom should be one of the first results.
