Sore Nipples

Mercedes
So, I had my baby 4 days Ago and been Breasting her. I was happy she was a latcher Because my son wasn't . When she was born she has a strong suck so it always hurt and still hurts when I feed her. So I basically had cracked nipples the first night. And I've been putting that boob stuff on it and they still hurt. Now my they have scabs and when she sucks I see a little blood. 😟 I feel nasty giving her blood cracked nipple milk. So I been trying to pump now. But I ask you , is it okay for me to keep feeding her from breast?? Or should I pump till they are healed?? Does anyone know what to do when your nipples get scabs? Anything that helps them feel better and heal?
They hurt by the touch 😢
