Hoping someone can advise, I’m beside myself.
I’ve been breastfeeding for 12 weeks. After the first week or so, once we had figured out the latch, there was no pain and all was going well. But for the last week or so I’ve had a horrific burning pain in one breast / nipple. It happens every time my baby feeds from that side, and lasts for ages after.
I originally thought mastitis, but there are no lumps or hot spots. Then I thought thrush, but does that ever strike one breast only?
I had surgery last week and got a bit engorged due to being away from my baby for the day, and also had antibiotics (in case it’s relevant).
Any advice would be so welcome, the pain is so awful I’m crying at every feed. Since my baby was born I’ve had to deal with c-section recovery, gallstones, gallbladder surgery and now this. I just want to enjoy my baby without being in pain for once
