Need Help with Bleeding Breast

Ouch! Is it possible your nipple was rubbing up against the pump flange?
Breastmilk does promote healing, so I would express a little and rub it into the nipple. Try to be topless or at least braless as much as possible. If you have to wear a bra then I would slather on some lanolin to keep the would from sticking to the fabric. Also slather some on when you have to pump. Nursing your baby should be a problem, as the nipple goes far enough back into their mouths that it shouldn't rub up against anything.

i was bleeding also for a while but found out from doctor that it is very normal if there is any crack at all on your nipplie your milk will turn pink/red. the doctor did tell me that it is NOT dangerous at all for the baby to drink, as odd as that may seem its not harmful for the baby

Hi K.,
Good for you for breast feeding! It is so important! I think it's normal. But your best resource might be La Leche League and of course, your doctor. But La Leche League folks specialize in this area.
Good luck!

Keep lanisoh on it. It should heal. I had great fun with my daugthers two teeth, when she scratched my nipple and caused abraisons. It took about 2 weeks to heal

A blood vessel may have "ruptured" inside your breast/nipple. As far as I know, it's probably no big deal. It happened to a good friend of mine and the nurse/doctor said it's very common in breast feeding moms. Hope this makes you feel better.

cracked nipples happen all the time. get some lansolin and use your breastmilk to help heal the nipple. Also, check you baby for thrush. good luck

I would go see a doctor ASAP and not waste time. It may be nothing but it could be serious. My girlfriend put off going and listened to others advice and they ended up removing both breasts by the time she went in. It is nothing to mess with. Get a professional opinion right away.

Call & talk to your Doctor or nurse.
