Hello, wise ones. I am trying to help my sister, who had a baby on 6/19 and is still having excruciating pain with nursing. We have tried lanolin & hydrogel dressings, but her nipples are still cracked and bleed. Latching on, everything looks wonderful (mouth is open wide, lips are flanged, you can hear & see swallowing), but she says it feels like his tongue is scraping her breast. When she takes him off the breast, her nipples are shaped like a tube of lipstick, so there is obviously a problem with the way he is sucking. His weight gain is wonderful, though--he was 7-7 at birth and was 8-3 on Wednesday (day 9). What suggestions do you have to correct this problem?
Thanks,
Julie Buford, RN, MSN, IBCLC
