How to make the cracked nipple heals faster? Still pumping and latching LO.

A friend of mine shared that a salt water rinse is a great natural remedy. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in one cup of warm water. After breastfeeding, soak the cracked nipple in a small bowl of warm saline solution for 1 minute or long enough for the saline to get onto all areas of the nipple. If not, put the saline solution into a squeeze bottle and squirt it on gently; use plenty of saline, making sure to get it on all areas of broken skin. Don't do soak for more than 5 minutes, it will hurt. Pat dry very gently with a soft paper towel. If your baby objects to the taste of the leftover salt from the rinse, wash off directly before nursing.
