What medication should be applied to cracked nipples during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Apply warm compresses to your breasts and nipples, and you can apply cod liver oil while massaging your breasts. At the end of each feeding, apply a drop of milk to the nipple skin to moisten it. If your symptoms are severe, you can temporarily stop breastfeeding, express the milk, and then feed the baby. Once the cracks heal, you can let the baby eat again.
