The LC in hospital helped me immensely with my bleeding nipples. I used a nipple shield for a week or two and then went on to BF for 14 months.
Good luck!

Keep bfing from the affected breast as much as you can stand. A pump will not clear the ducts as quickly as baby will. If you can't see a LC, phone the ABA on 1800 mum 2 mum for their advice on caring for your nipples and recovering from the mastitis.
I had mastitis fairly often in the first year of my DD's life and we bf for almost four years!
