His sucking dried it: hi, Libby. His sucking temporarily dried out your nipple. The same thing happens in early nursing. Might try some vitamin E or neosporin to keep it moist and to help in its healing . And ask him to be a bit more gentle next time. If it doesn't improve in a few days, you need to see your doctor.
