I posted a couple of days ago about blanching and throbbing of nipples post feed. Have not received any comments to this point. Baby is 3 months old and bfeeding has been going well. Also has deep "syringe like" pain sensation in lateral aspects of both breasts unrelated to feedings. No signs of thrush in baby. Latch perfect. Nipples are perhaps a brighter pink. I am thinking thrush and would like feedback on the association of blanching of the nipple and thrush. Also what suggestions in addition to dry heat are helpful for blanching. TIA.
