I'm still breastfeeding my 14 mo dd. Every few weeks my right nipple becomes extremely painful for several days. I'm not sure if it's just her teeth catching on it as she feeds (it only began after her top teeth appeared) or if it's a blocked duck/milk blister, or both. There is always at least one very tender area where the skin is broken/raw but this time there is also a white dot, in a different place on the nipple. I have tried warm compresses and despite the pain I have fed her a much as I normally would.
I don't want to stop breastfeeding anytime soon but, when it's like this, I dread feeding her, which is really sad. My main worry is that her latch may not be great and this is why, now she has (quite big!) teeth it has become a problem which, given how far along we are, may be very difficult to rectify.
I've researched mastitis and I don't think it's that as I'm not feelinh unwell. I've also tried repositioning her but this in itself is painful.
Does anyone have any advice or experience? Thanks
