ADVERTISEMENT Hello everyone, I just got a call tonight from a 2nd time bf'ing mom of a 2 wk old who has had tender nipples from the start. Her latch in the hospital looked good, but I did work w/ her toward getting a deeper latch because her Lt nipple after 24 hrs had a red mark diagonally across the nipple, and was sore. She began using Dr Newman's all- purpose nipple ointment at that time and has continued it. She calls tonight to say that this nipple is getting worse and has started to show "green pus" drainage on her breast pad. Baby also had a fussy night last night, but has not refused that breast. The other nipple has improved. She is going to bf on the "good" breast and pump the other until I can see her on Monday. I've never run into this before. Any comments?
