kiddo, u may wan to try hand express, got i got crack tt time like u, i pump till it worsen and infection, dr ask mi to hand express to heal the crack faster. Hmm but must see where is ur crack, my crack is directly the pumping line, when it suck in, the skin is stretched, so veri hard to heal. Apply nipple cream and air... Oh! Use breast shell!
