Exclusively pumping with a badly cracked nipple all the way around — what can I do?

omg! what pump are you using???

The Medela personal double electric from my insurance

does your pump have the inner shields. remove them if so and lower the suction. keep using the cream.

I don't think it has the inner shields.. and if I lower the suction nothing comes out.. :( I only use it on medium

sounds like your shield things are too small. try getting bigger ones

already did I have the 27mm size

hand express for right now if u can, let them heal a little bit

get supplementing formula so you can have a little time to heal

I already am doing the formula thing :/ maby trying a manual pump???

Get a manual pump

That is such a nice pump! I had that one too.... but it didn't do this to me... Idk :( your trying everything I would of suggested.. I would go to the doctor girl.. I'm sorry. 😔😔😔

I gave myself time to heal.. and dried up on the one side... breastfeeding is such a beautiful thing.. but some can't do it.. I unfortunately was one of them due to nipple issues.. & waiting too long in between feedings & pumping.. bummed me out so bad when I had to quit.. I cried for days.. I miss it. 😭😭😭 I really hope you can get some relief somehow. 😔

rinse with cup of water and vinegar...

also u can ask ur OB doc for some cream
