Help! Really sore nipple!

DD2 is 5 days old. I bf last time for a year with no problems. Today I've noticed the nipple on my right breast is a bit swollen, possibly inflamed and it hurts like hell to touch much less feed. Im still feeding from that side though. It's also a bit stingy and itchy. I've not been religious with the lansolsh (sp?) but have started applying it again ( instantly it went from feeling rough to smooth).
Any suggestions? Everything else with that breast appears normal. Thanks in advance!

Is the nipple pink at all?

Do you get pain during a feed as well as after it?

I'm just thinking about thrush really, although it does seem very early days for that.

This BfN leaflet might be of some use in working out what is causing the pain.

Hope things improve soon and congratulations on your new DD Smile.
