Joedi, I would investigate this further. I think of yeast as well,
although you will want to make sure that she is pumping appropriately,
for the right length of time, with the right sized breastshield.  Does
it last a long time?  Kathleen




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?
