A while ago there was some discussion which included "nipple
fissures" as a result of damaged nipples.  I have looked in the
archives but found nothing.  I am trying to find out something about
nipple fissures.  I have a Mum who had really badly bleeding and
damaged nipples and now, 4 weeks later has a small central fissure in
one nipple, causing her pain, bearable during feeds.  The baby
appears well attached and is thriving, I am sure that I read
somewhere that if there is that fissure, the baby is actually not
well attached, can anyone help??
