Latching

Been latching my 5 days old newborn for feeding but stopped for one day due to swollen and cracked painful nipples. Any remedies? I wish to continue latching him though.. does nipple guard helps?

I experienced that and applied nipple cream to help soothe the pain. Have to air it more often too. Didn't use nipple guard.
