booboo nipple?

My nip was killing me starting yesterday. Looked today and looks like I have a booboo. Still nurse? Wash with soap after each feed? Advice?

Sorry on mobile thumb typing....

    Sorry LO was nursing so I couldn't type much/well and my phone sucks big time.

    Looks like a small cut on the inner left of right nipple. Starting to scab over. I want to prevent infection since I just got over one on other side.

    Can you specify in adult language what the problem is with your nipple?

    I'm crying.

    Thanks for jumping my ass over short typing. Big deal.
    Thanks for the info on the soap. I'll avoid that, use my lanolin, & rub BM in it. Problem solved.

    I was going to suggest a Barbie bandaid... Makes my kids booboos all better ;-)
    Great idea! I'll put a couple of those on it also. Thanks!   :D

    Washing with soap will dry it out and make your boo boo worse. Do you use lanolin or nipple butter? Make sure you keep changing breast pads and air the boo boo out as much as possible. Applying breast milk to the boo boo will also help it heal.

    Tell the truth. You just wanted to type "boo boo" a lot, didn't you?


    Boooooo!!
