I have worked with a woman in this situation, and Kay Hoover has as well,
because she has a neat slide of it.  I had the mother wear a tee shirt with
a small hole cut out for her nipples.  It is ok to take those cortisone 5
day packs with descending doses of steroid to reduce inflammation while
nursing.  Mother can use topicals to reduce itching, take oatmeal baths etc.
If she gets it on the nipples, use nipple shields.
