Really painful to feed 12 month old what can it be?

[YesYes]

hi I would really appreciate some help

I am still feeding my 12 month old and intend to continue for a while longer but it's really painful at the moment. I've never felt pain like it despite feeding DS til he was 18 months old and (now) DD til 12 months old

DD has four teeth and it feels as though she is rubbing her teeth on my nipples when she's feeding although this hasn't only started since she's had teeth

Ive had a read up of the mumsnet notes on feeding and the only thing that seems to fit is thrush although I cannot see any white patches on DD's tounge. I can see some small cracks where my nipples join my areole (sp). I've tried feeding from just one side to let the other side heal and then try the other side but eventually it becomes painful again.

Looking at the mumsnet notes I think I need to apply breast milk or lanisoh (is that right?) to my nipples and let them dry and make an appointment with my Dr which I can do on wednesday

Thinking about it, it probably is thrush as I've recently finished a course of antibiotics

Any thoughts or ideas really appreciated.

I think pain has lessened although not entirely sure as I've taken this opportunity to wean dd off the night feeds so i havent fed her much (as I didn't feed her the other night when it was too painful). DD was up three hours last night wanting to be fed but I didn't crack as she's over a year now and still feeding twice a night and it's killing me having recently gone back to work zzzzzz today tho!

So fingers crossed it's thrush and creams etc are working
