Itchy nipples?

I have been breastfeeding for 6 weeks and today have very itchy irritated feeling nipples.
Any ideas what it is? Could it be thrush? I don't have any other symptoms and either does baby.

No idea sorry but I would give one of the BFing Helpkines a call as they will probably know. Have you got the numbers?

How are things now @bunhead34? Did you manage to find out what it was?

I got some cream and drops for baby from
The GP, I'm still not sure if it even is thrush, maybe a mild case!
Baby has been doing a weird tongue thing like maybe it's itchy 🤷🏼‍♀️ and she has some
White on her tongue but could just be milk!
anyway, the cream seems to have eased my itching!

Did they give you anything to treat LO with?
