Hello, I am a hospital based LC in a NICU. I have been helping a Mom pump
for a micro-premie.  Mom has been pumping with hospital grade, double
electric pump, on low to medium settings, 8 times/day for approx. 4 weeks.
Her nipples are fine, no redness or cracks. Her complaint is that after she
pumps, she has an uncomfortable tingling sensation in the ducts BEHIND both
nipples for approx. 15-20 minutes.  She says it is the same feeling as when
your foot falls asleep.  She claims that her nipples do not hurt though.
The only thing I can think of is yeast.  The fact that her nipples are fine
and that it is only in the ducts is confusing for me.  Any other
suggestions?
