Hello! I recommend to temporarily stop breastfeeding. You can gently express the milk and feed the baby from a spoon. Apply Solcoseryl gel and lanolin-based ointment to the cracks (rinse off with warm water before decanting). Drink vitamins A, E and C. Also, make sure that you correctly attach the child to the breast.

Editorial comment

We advise you to read the article how to feed the baby during breastfeeding. Pay close attention to the technique of putting the baby to the breast.
