LO bit me the other day while nursing and I just noticed that there is some nipple damage. It looked better this morning but after pumping it looks swollen and hurts.
Is it the same protocol as when you had nipple damage in the early days? Air dry and APNO?

My Lo bit and slashed the base of my nipple once too. I fed her like normal and cringed through the pain. I didnt use anything for it and eventually it healed.

I bet the protocol would be the same. And that just stinks! Where is this in any of the BFing instructions/manuals?!

When my LO did this to me I did some salt water rinses and air dry. I did apply some neosporin but I didn't let LO nurse from that side for a full day. She nursed from the other side and I pumped the boob that was bitten (and I pumped after putting a major coating of lanolin). It was better after 24 hours.

@sorrycharlie: I was afraid, too. But the bite was actually not as bad as my first month of breastfeeding. You'll be prepared!
