I would treat the crack with a mild soap and warm water cleansing several
times a day and a little antibiotic ointment applied with a clean
cotton-tipped swab or clean finger after each feed. I would try nipple
vasospasm treatments (warmth like you said) and I would check the baby extra
closely for tongue-tie problems or refer to someone who knows more than me
about those subtle tongue-ties.
