Dear Lactnetters, A mother called me (from across an ocean) about her ten and a half month old daughter who has worn a hole in each of the mother's nipples by rubbing her top front teeth into the breast when breastfeeding. She says that the cuts are deep and nursing is very painful. She usually nurses lying down so I suggested that she turn her baby "upside down", that is with the daughter's body next to the mother's head, which helped. I also suggested keeping the cuts covered with modified lanolin. My question is what else this mother can do to promote healing and continue nursing without further damage. Can the latch of a ten month old be corrected? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
