Cracked and bloody nipple!

Niamh

Hi ladies

My baby is 6 days old and is a great feeder so far! My milk to about 4 days to come in and during that time baby was cluster feeding all the time.

Now my right nipple is cracked , sore and almost unbearable to get her latched on. Once she is latched it doesn’t hurt that much. Every time my nipple heals a bit and starts to feel better she needs to feed again so I don’t know how I’m going to get it healed.

Should I only feed from the non painful side for a few days? Or will this mess up my supply?
