white spot on nipple, & pain when drinking. whats that do you think?

[jimijack]

Ooh tis sore.
Been over the last 24 hours, noticed white spot today, it's there all the time.
It hurts when baby feeds.
Dragging pain.
Any ideas?

Milk blister - see kellymom for accurate information but from memory express by hand in warm bath/shower, warm wet flannel on the boob before a feed, exfoliate (haha)

apols for brief response trying to do bedtime feed with the other

it will do in a couple of days, mine did (had twice)

[adagio]

it will *go
(not do, no idea what it will do - the cancan perhaps?)

[GlaikitFizzog]

Possibly thrush. Any signs on dcs tongue? Or have you any symptoms elsewhere?

[NotQuiteCockney]

As adagio says, sounds like a milk bleb.

(Glaikit, thrush is normally on both sides, and doesn't come up as a spot)

[Fazerina]

Yep, milk blister. I also found that Lansinoh-cream helped quite a bit.

[jimijack]

Oh thank God, thanks ladies. Was worrying that it was mastitis or some such & would need to stop bf.

Also worried that I would be giving the baby "bad" milk. His nappies are fecking evil at the moment.

Phew, thanks again.

ADAGIO there should be a little sleepy face emoticon. I would use it allot.
