Guest guest Posted April 13, 1999 Report Share Posted April 13, 1999 My Sister in law gave birth on Friday. She got cracked nipples. Today she called and said I'm okay...then burst into tears. Her hormones hit the floor today. Anyway she said she was nursing Carlie & removed her to burp her & her nipple was bleeding bad and then the baby threw up a lot of blood....from the nipple. I hopped in my car and got there within 10 minutes. She was still crying. I told her the blood won't hurt the baby. I spent the day holding the baby, checking her diaper for wetness, and wondering if she was getting enough milk. I feed her 1 oz of formula. I was there from 2:30-5:30. I called all around town to talk to a lactation consultant or someone. Left messages at 3 places, paged another lady twice. Anyone on the list ever have this problem? Or know what to do? The lactation lady said she needs to latch on properly. and if she wants that she can pump and dump the one side. Poor Diane....her hormones are the pits. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Love, I wanted to nurse the baby myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
