Breastfeeding

Help--cut nipple

Wen DS was born He had troubles latching on the left side. I guess he had a really bad latch because two weeks later I had a big cut/open hole on my left nipple and my nipple had a dent in the middle. I am still dealing with the cut and he is 8 weeks old! It hurts every time he latches on and sometimes there is a little blood.

 I have seen two LC who tell me his latch is fine and it will heal but this seems to be taking too long! Just when it looks like it is closing over/up...I have to feed him again and it literally rips open!  

I don't want to give up BF'ing (I have gone through my fair share of problems to make it to 8weeks) but just want the pain and cut to go away.

help!!
