The mother’s nipples are prone to cracking as the baby sucks very hard during breastfeeding, and in more serious cases, red blood, scabs and pain will be sucked out. The first thing you need to do is to use the side of the breast that is less painful and apply a hot moist towel to the breast and areola for 3-5min before breastfeeding. at the same time, massage the breast to stimulate the discharge reflex and squeeze out some milk so that the areola becomes soft and easy for the baby to suck on. When breastfeeding, let the baby take the whole areola in as well. Wash and wipe it clean after breastfeeding, and then apply milk to the nipple. Severe cases can be treated by wiping with suet cream or applying localized treatment with chrysin ointment, which should be applied after breastfeeding and wiped off before breastfeeding. The mother should wear loose underwear and cotton bras and place nipple covers if necessary to facilitate air flow and promote the healing of chapped nipples.
