I just wanted to comment that I also had this situation when I was breastfeeding. Letdown was a very painful, stinging sensation. It was brief, and then everything seemed fine, though the initial flow of milk was very fast, causing lots of gulping and sputtering for my babies. I figured it was just me, never talked to my OB about it, and just lived with it because everything else seemed to be fine. Baby and I never had thrush. Maybe this is an unfortunate normal variation for some of us?
