Ahhh sayang, cracked nipples during early pantang is really painful, I feel for you! A few of us mums went through this too, and honestly it gets better, the first two weeks are the toughest while baby is still learning to latch properly and your skin is super tender. Since you're already on formula, that's fine for now, tapi I'd really suggest checking with your doctor or a lactation consultant (many hospitals have them) because they can check if baby's latch needs adjusting, sometimes that's the main culprit and once it's sorted, the pain improves fast. In the meantime, try Mama's Choice Nipple Cream , it's safe for breastfeeding and a few mum friends swear it helped them heal quickly while they continued nursing (though if you want to rest from direct feeding for a couple days, that's okay too). Express gently if you're engorged, use warm compresses before feeding, and hang in there, you're only on day 5, your body is still adjusting!
