Well, I'm pretty sure it's thrush, DD3 is 4 weeks old, we have had no real problems bfing thus far. However, yesterday I noticed my left nipple was very sore when she latched on (almost like the first few toe-curling days). It got worse and now I am getting pain all the way through my arm and shoulder too, followed by a hour or 2 of burning.
DD3 did have a white tongue, it doesn't seem as white now.
What I'm really after is any advice regarding what I can do to alleviate the pain, given that I'm unlikely to see my GP before Monday. Is there anything I can take, is there anything I can get from a pharmacy? I'm already tensing up when she feeds, I don't want to make the problem worse.
Any help or advise would be gratefully pounced on. I haven't had this problem with DD1 or 2.
Cheers!
