Having an issue with this breastfeeding thing - bubby seems to be getting enough milk (I hope) - but my nipples bleed now and again (while she is feeding which freaks me out).

We are very aware of our attachment and I work hard each time to make sure this is ok - I have pain for around the first 10-20 seconds of her latching on. We saw a lactation consultant before we left the hospital who said that we were doing the bf thing beautifully. I had sore nipples initially because of poor attachment but since we have worked on this it seems to be ok, but my nipples just haven't healed since then.

I just want to get rid of the cracked/ bleeding nipples! Any ideas?
I'm tempted to see a lactation consultant again!! I am nowhere near wanting to give up and am still enjoying breastfeeding, I just really want to nip any potential issues in the bud before they become huge.

Cheers
