DS (15months) has been sick the last couple of weeks, and been feeding a lot more often than normal. I'm not concerned about that, as I know he is getting fluids (as he is refusing water when his temp goes right up), mummy cuddles and comfort.

BUT... after he has been on all day I get blisters on my nipples. They aren't milk blisters (well they aren't white?) but more a yellowy clear blister. They really hurt when he feeds and it makes me not want to feed him . They are also making my nipples even more sensitive to the cold (i.e. opening the fridge; getting undressed) which I don't need cos they do a fine job of that by themselves

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of them (I've tried expressing in the shower etc) or do I just have to let them settle on their own? And how can I possibly avoid further ones? I noticed tonight that with every feed they were getting bigger / joining up

Thanks x
