Having a hard time starting breastfeeding: nipples cracked and bleeding... Today my 3days old baby…

Squeeze your boob and see if blood comes out with the milk

If she spit up blood take her to the ER immediately!!!!! Even if it's from you she needs to be checked out just in case!!!!

And if you haven't got any yet get some nipple cream or lanolin it's perfectly safe for baby and helps the cracking

go to the er that looks like fresh blood

@adrenalizee, @ashsloan yes, I see the blood coming from my nipples when she's eating.. Other than that she seems to be fine: eating a lot, sleeping, peeing and pooping normally (though the poop is a little watery)..

ER, ASAP. If your breast were bleeding that heavily it wouldn't stop at feeding's end, and that looks like fresh blood. Prayers for your little muffin!

That's a good bit of blood ER ASAP sending prayers

Poop is usually watery when breastfeeding because it's water soluble, but you still need to take her to the ER spitting up blood isn't normal at all

my mom said she had that happen when she was breastfeeding my brother. they used to sell like nipple covers/shields, she said to help with the bleeding cracked nipples.

if that's spit up it would be diluted in sum way if it was from your breast that doesn't look diluted at all. I think you should take her to the e.r

ER!!!!!

hospital for that little one....my nipple were cracked bleeding I even has milk blisters painful to feed but never did any of my children spit up blood. They wouldn't get that amount of blood just from feeding. Praying for ur baby.
