I have permission to post for a first time mother with a six week old, 
never breastfed pain free, now on her 3rd round of Diflucan. She is 
pumping and carefully washing pump parts (even that hurts), the baby has 
Nystatin mouth rinses but apparently no symptoms, and I've just suggested 
some dietary changes. Her nipples are itchy and tender, but not visibly 
damaged, her bigger complaint is the shooting deep pain that is about to 
make her quit altogether. Does the pain go away suddenly or should she be 
getting gradual improvement? She thinks this morning it might be ever so 
slightly better, but I'd love to extend some hope. Also, how hard will 
this be to get him back to the breast? He has a tight frenulum and other 
problems that apparently led to her using comfort-gels in the first week 
and she believes that they led to her infection. I've only spoken to her 
on the phone.
Thanks,
Maeve
