Question
Hi i have scabs on both my nipples and theyre blocking my other milk pores from producing milk from them. What can i do to make the scabs go away?
There must be a latch problem that is causing the scabs. Once you get that fixed, they should go away on their own and you will have no more painful breastfeeding. You can contract a local IBCLC, Doula who knows breastfeeding or someone from LLLI.ORG to find out who is local and can give free advice to look at how the baby is latching in person .
