My 9 month old baby has a very red and swollen nipple. This morning there was nothing, but tonight when we undressed him we noticed this. He hasn't worn new clothes or changed his soap.
What should I do? Should I go to the hospital? Should I wait and see if it will go away on its own?

Thanks for the feedback!
What I would suggest doing for now is to monitor the situation; you can also circle the area that is red/swollen with a washable ink pen. If you notice any increase in redness or swelling, you will need to see a doctor quickly.
