Nipple Confusion ?

Recently gave birth and started breastfeeding. Day 4 i bought nipple guards because baby was chewing too hard on my already blistering raw nipples. Now day 7 i tried to stop using it, but she doesn't seem to accept my nipples without the guard anymore. Anyone know what can i do?

Apply the nipple cream to your nipples to protect them then keep trying. Try when she’s pretty hungry (mouthing+sucking on hands) but before she’s screaming.
