I have got a really bad crack in one of my nipples - the other side is ok-ish. I am worried that the crack will not heal if i carry on feeding with it (although the midwife says I have now got latching on right). Can I just feed off the "good" side to let the other side heal? If so, how long would it take for the crack to heal?
Advice is really welcome as this is agony!
Also, there is a red line on my breast (it looks like a line my bra would make iysim)leading up to the nipple. Does this sound like a blocked milk duct?
