Hi Sandy,
I just invested in a Low Level Laser, so I have a whole list of references, here are some.
Breastfeeding Review 2016; 24(2): 27–31
Low level laser therapy for breastfeeding problems
ABSTRACT
Breast and nipple pain, nipple damage and mastitis are common reasons given by women for their early cessation of
breastfeeding. There are a limited number of effective therapies available to support healing of damaged nipples during
lactation. Low level laser therapy is a painless treatment, which appears to accelerate wound healing and ease pain. We
present two case studies, which demonstrate the use of low level laser therapy in clinical practice.

I have only just started using it in my practice, so not much first hand experience yet.

Betreff: Laser therapy for cracked nipples
Dear Wise Ones,
Is there any research or evidence for the use of laser therapy on cracked nipples please?
This was asked on another forum, and although I found some references to laser treatment used in Australia. I know of a few Hospitals in South Africa where it is used with great success.
I look forward to your input.
Sincerely
Sandy
Doula
