nipples burn & sting constantly, any help?

[Squiggy]

Please tell me there is something I can do or ask my doctor for.
My baby is only 3weeks old and I can't bear much more of this pain. I don't think that crying the whole time I'm feeding my baby is good for him.

Please, PLEASE tell me there is something I can do.
I've tried the lanolin but it's no help. I'm taking ibuprofen 600 but that's barely helping. There must be something!

Sounds like thrush to me hun. We had it here once, easy to fix, just get yourself to your Doctor! Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Squiggy]

Krippy, thank you so much for your reply! I've googled it and I believe this is exactly what the problem is. I will call my doctor now.
Thank you again, very much appreciated!

Treat both if you aggressively because if you've had it a while it can be hard to get rid of and you can pass it back and forth

 

[Krippy]

You are welcome! And yes my babe and I were both treated and it cleared up almost instantly! GL hun!

Sounds like you've figured it out, But
If its NOT that, it could be a latch thing?

If DS is being lazy about it, it gets really painful. Of if the pump slips into the wrong position.
