RE: more thrush questions
I had pain in just one nipple. It would hurt when she first latched on, but then feel fine while she was nursing, and then after she disengaged from me it would start to hurt again suddenly and would ache for awhile. My nipple would get white and hard with a reddish/purplish center.
I did some research and figured out it was Raynauds Syndrome. I paid better attention to how she was latching on that side and that helped. After a week or so of making sure she latched on perfectly as possible, it stopped happening.
I also had a split in my nipple due to a partially inverted nipple and that may have been a factor in the Raynauds as well. It is finally healed.
Breastfeeding gets suddenly easier at about 8 weeks!
