I am in so much pain at every feed I am seriously considering giving up breastfeeding. DS is 7.5 weeks old and I've had no issues feeding him until the last week or so. 2 weeks ago he had thrush on his bum that I've been using a prescription cream on but there's still a couple of spots.
He hasn't got any sign of thrush in his mouth but over the past week my left nipple has become so cracked and sore. I'm in so much pain at every feed, and now my right one is starting to go the same way. I've tried jelonet, Lansinoh, air drying, everything.
I know it's not his latch because a breastfeeding counsellor observed a feed on Thursday and said his latch is fine. Nothing is making it any better. Could it be thrush?
