I heard (via email) from a mother today who has a 4 week old baby. After each feeding, she feels a painful tingling in part of her areola (where the baby's lower jaw has been), radiating down into her breast. This lasts for approx. an hour after feeding. It is not there while she is feeding. She is an experienced breastfeeding mother, no other problems. No other details. My first thought was thrush, but I wanted to ask you all if you have ever come across it only in one lobe, and apparently not spreading? Any other suggestions as to possible causes of this problem?
