LO is 5 weeks old, and is a mixture of fed on the breast, and feed expressed milk from a bottle.
About 10 mins like clockwork after either feeding or expressing I get awful pains high and deep in my breasts. They are short lived, lasting only about 5mins, but they have me moaning out loud and deep breathing/gasping until they pass. This has been happening for about a week now.
I don't think it's thrush - my nipples are not sore or itchy, the pains are high up the breasts where I imagine the ducts lie, and the baby has no white patches or symptoms.
I'm not sure it it's a vasospasm, but my nipples are not changing colour at all.
I'm wondering if it's simply pain related to the mechanics of the emptier ducts starting to fill up again?
Has anyone had pain on refilling at all?
