DD just bit me. Hard. She took a chunk out of my nipple. After I finished crying and wiping up blood, I put some antibiotic ointment on it. I'm planning on pumping that side only until it heals. Anything else I can do?
That is so painful! Instead of pumping, can you change her position so her teeth aren't sinking in the hole when she eats? I'm still heading about three weeks later, which is a long time to pump! (We switched from cross cradle to side lying or football hold when this happened)
I had this happen with Caramini and pumped on that side for about a week. There was blood in the milk for 5ish days. I ended up needing a few stitches after a washout period (dirty mouths and all that). I had to see the surgeon who sutured me up at a holiday party--that's awkward.
It hurt like a mofo. I am sorry and hope that you feel better soon.
