A member asked:

I have a blister on my nipple from poor latch. it has now gone yellow. is it ok to continue feeding and should i treat it with anything?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nipple blister: A nipple blister turning yellow amy mean a bacterial infection has developed. Please have your OB check it out before continuing to nurse your baby with that nipple.
