Cracked nipples most often result from chafing during sports and due to breastfeeding.
Cracked nipples are characterized by red, irritated, and scabbed skin on or around the nipple. Using gentle creams and avoiding harsh soaps, chemicals, and tight clothing can help treat and prevent nipple cracking.
An estimated 38% of people who experience problems with breastfeeding or chestfeeding have sore or cracked nipples. This can make future breastfeeding sessions uncomfortable.
This article discusses why cracked nipples occur and how to treat them. It takes a close look at how to manage this symptom when breastfeeding, including pain relief and tips for preventing further damage.

A person may experience cracked nipples when they are breastfeeding.
Cracked nipples are most often due to nipple trauma. It can affect both men and women as a result of chafing against clothing or tissue damage from cuts or blows. It may be more likely if the nipples protrude more.
During breastfeeding, causes of cracked nipples include:
Cracked nipples are most likely to occur in the first month postpartum, according to an article in the journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth.
As a baby is learning to nurse, they may take additional time and effort to latch onto the breast. The friction can irritate and sensitize the nipple. The nipple can also become dry, leading to cracked skin and occasional bleeding.
Using a bottle to feed a baby before trying breastfeeding may also increase the chance of cracked nipples. This is because a baby will typically use a different sucking technique when using a bottle compared with a breast. If they are more used to a bottle, they may be more likely to cause nipple trauma.
If a baby needs supplemental milk in the early days or weeks of life, lactation consultants tend to recommend spoon, cup, or syringe feeding, rather than using a bottle. Using a spoon, cup, or syringe is less likely to have an adverse effect on the baby’s latch and long-term breastfeeding success.
To treat cracked nipples, a person can:
Allowing time to heal and finding improved ways for a baby to latch onto the breast should also help cracked nipples heal.
A lactation consultant can help people struggling with breastfeeding to identify ways to improve the experience. This can enhance comfort and reduce nipple trauma that leads to cracked nipples.
A lactation consultant can make recommendations after observing a feeding. They may suggest trying the following.
If this approach does not work, try different hold options. Some examples include the “football” hold and the cradle position.
The “football” hold positions the baby’s body on the same side they are feeding from. Breastfeeding consultants often recommend this hold for people who had a cesarean birth, as the baby’s body will not cross the surgical incision.
The cradle position involves holding the baby in a cross-body position. A breastfeeding pillow, or a pillow underneath the baby, brings them up to breast height, and the parent will cradle the baby until the baby is securely against the chest and stomach. The baby should not have to turn their head to access the breast.
Nipple discomfort and tenderness is common when someone first starts breastfeeding or chestfeeding. However, taking the following preventive steps can help prevent cracked nipples:

Pain associated with breastfeeding is a common cause of stopping breastfeeding early, according to the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. Even if a parent has cracked nipples, they can usually continue to breastfeed while they heal.
Sometimes, a lactation consultant might recommend using a silicone nipple shield for a while, to allow the nipples to heal without interrupting nursing.
If a person continues to experience cracked nipples, they can speak to their midwife or obstetrician, who may recommend seeking further lactation consulting or prescribe creams to help the nipples heal.
Cracked nipples can be a common side effect when establishing breastfeeding.
A person does not usually need to stop breastfeeding when they have cracked nipples, but this symptom might indicate that they need to improve the baby’s latch to reduce pain and enhance overall breastfeeding success.
If a person is concerned about cracked nipples or worried about infection, they can see their lactation consultant, midwife, or doctor for advice.

Cracked nipples are classified as a breast disorder. The nipple is not only the structure to deliver milk to the infant, it also contains small, sebaceous glands or Montgomery glands to lubricate the skin of the areola. Cracked nipples are most often associated with breastfeeding and appear as cracks or small lacerations or breaks in the skin of the nipple. In some instances an ulcer will form. The nipple in a nursing mother is in regular contact with a nursing infant. Cracked nipples are trauma to the nipple and can be quite painful. Cracked nipples typically appear three to seven days after the birth.
If the nipples appears to be wedge-shaped, white and flattened, this may indicate that the latch is not good and there is a potential of developing cracked nipples.
Complications
Bacteria can enter the breast through cracked nipples, which increase the risk of mastitis. Candida infection (thrush) of the nipple can also occur, resulting in deep-pink, cracked, and sore nipples.
Contraindications for breastfeeding
Because cracked nipples can result in the infant being exposed to blood, women with certain blood-borne diseases may be advised to stop breastfeeding if they have a cracked nipple. It has been found safe for breastfeeding mothers with hepatitis B and cracked nipples to breastfeed. In the event that a nursing woman experiences cracked and bleeding nipples or breast inflammation within one to two weeks immediately following an acute Toxoplasmosis infection (when the organism is still circulating in her bloodstream), it is theoretically possible that she could transmit Toxoplasma gondii to the infant through her breast milk. Immune suppressed women could have circulating Toxoplasma for even longer periods of time. However, the likelihood of human milk transmission is very small. Transmission risk of HIV increases if the mother has cracked and bleeding nipples An uncommon infection in the mother, Chagas disease, can be transmitted to the nursing infant via cracked nipples. Women with hepatitis C are advised to abstain from breastfeeding if their nipples are cracked or bleeding.
