bleeding nipple question

NiniJ55 · May 2010

If your nipple is bleeding do you still serve that milk to LO? Do you still nurse on that breast?

I can go back to EPing again until it heals but I am just curious what others usually do. I just started back at work and I thinking I have been pumping on too high of a sunction and maybe that is why I cracked my nipple. The milk I pumped looks normal (not pink) so I assume it fine to serve but when I removed the flange is when I noticed the blood stain on the flange and the nipple was red.

Any opinions would be helpful. TIA
