Oh you poor thing! biting is bad enough but to bleed when you nurse! no wonder. when i am sore i dread having to nurse and have that pain! I have been struggling with mastitis for the last year of my baby's life! No fun. But the oils help amazingly!!! Keep trying.
Best of luck to ya!

This is my third baby and I nursed the other two 14 and 17 months.
She bit me pretty bad about a week ago and so I have been very tense
while nurseing because the sore spot hurts SO bad (bleeding and
everthing). My milk started to go down then and then I did not know
to stay away from peppermint and I had put it on her feet because she
had a fever. The next time I nursed her I could feel the peppermint
all in my lips and fingertips. It stayed in my system all day and I
think that may have affected it too. I would love the recipe for the
cookies.
