Cracked & Sore Nipples
निप्पल में दरार / दर्द (स्तनपान में)
Sore, cracked, or bleeding nipples are common in early breastfeeding and are most often caused by a poor latch. They make feeding painful but can usually be healed by fixing the latch, gentle care, and breast milk or lanolin on the nipples. Cracks can let bacteria in, so worsening pain with fever or a spreading red area should be checked (possible thrush or mastitis).
When to see a doctor
- TURANT DOCTOR — Nipple/breast ke paas red area + bukhar + bahut bimar feeling (mastitis ho sakta)
- DOCTOR KO DIKHAO — Dono nipple mein burning + itching + white patches (baby ke muh mein bhi) — thrush ho sakta
- DOCTOR/LACTATION CONSULTANT — Latch fix + care ke baad bhi crack heal na ho ya bahut dard rahe
Emergency: 112 · 102 · 108
