Toss it: do you have cracked nipples or an infection? Why are you having bleeding? Did you have bleeding from your nipples in the past before nursing? Please check in with your doctor

Call OB: You need to call your OB to find out what to do next. In the meanwhile, you should stop breastfeeding until the problem has been resolved.
