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?

Apply nipple cream just before and after feeding (no need to wash off before latching). I found that it helped greatly. Some people have experienced that baby stops latching to natural nipple after they tried nipple guard.
