Just top up ❤️ Let your nipples heal. See the lactation consultant, so she can teach you how to latch baby on properly. When baby latches well, there is no pain at all and there shouldn’t be cracked or bleeding nipples. Also apply the lanolin ointment. I could latch baby on immediately after applying, even though it was hurting a lot before that. The breastfeeding journey is a learning curve for most of us, but it’s rewarding and should be enjoyable for both you and baby:) If you’re worried that baby will choose the bottle over you next time, feed the formula with a syringe:)
