bleeding nipple and hardening baby stool from fm

My baby is 5 days old. For the first 3 days, my colostrum supply was sufficient for her. However, since yesterday, her appetite seems to grow very much. My nipples were sore and bleeding until she rejects my nipple. Should i still continue to pump? But it hurts. After drinking formula milk for 3 meals, her stools became harder and she seems to have problem pooping. Any solution?

Do apply nipple cream to take care of it. In the meantime, continue to pump else it might get engorged. Can try feeding expressed breastmilk for the moment if ur nipple is still in pain.
