Hello,
After another night of bad pain from feeding my 18 month old ds, I really need some advice.
I've fed him successfully with the usual issues along the way - cracked nipples/thrush/teething, but thought by now I had it cracked and would be plain sailing. In the last few weeks I am esperiencing a lot of pain, especially when feeding at night (he starts off in his cot but then comes through and sleeps with me as won't settle later on) it feels like I am being punctured when he feeds. It is not an actual bite though. I am tired of gritting my teeth and pulling faces while he feeds. Sometimes it is just one side, sometimes both. This morning I saw my nipples were white at the end post-feed, though i haven't always seen that.
Is it just his teeth? Is it thrush, though I don't think the pain is quite "right" for that? Is it just time to stop?
