The special band-aids designed for healing blisters are good too - the compeed type ones. Combine with the BM and airing and it should heal.
Thanks Nai, where do I find these band-aids? Are they a particular brand or do they have a name? Might try them out. And Jen I've been using some pawpaw cream to date but will upgrade to the Lansinoh today I think. And dig out my bigger flange for the pump too. I'm annoyed because the crack is on my slower boob so I've had to turn the suction right down and get even less milk. Or just sit there for 45 minutes letting it dribble out! Oh well, thank goodness for power boob!

Well I finally got to hold my baby girl in my arms again last night. I settled in with her tucked down my top and she went straight to sleep, and I just wept. Tears of sheer relief, of exhaustion, tears that wished the whole world would go away for a while so I could have her in a quiet room all to myself. DP & her nurse sat there holding me and wiping away the tears. Even though it was visiting hours and they were very busy, her nurse insisted the lights get turned off so we could enjoy the cuddle as much as possible, and I was so appreciative. Its the closest I can get to having her back in my womb, and it just feels so much better having her with me, where she belongs. Inside or out.
