Hi. My baby has only 20 days old. Both of my breast nipples are cracked. So I couldn't him feed. So can I give lactodex?

Don't give oral feed, empty breast with breast pump, have physical examination by a gynac and clear issue of cracked nipple, use nipple shield too

Yes, lactodex can be given. But preferably give mother's milk only. Use nipple shield and nipcare ointment apply on nipples. Can also use breast pump and give with katori and spoon
