yes--I have seen women who complain of sharp, shooting pain after feedings
who see no blanching. Try covering nipples us as soon as possible after
feeding, and apply a heating pad on "low" for 15 minutes or so. If the
pain lessens or stops, it was vasospasm.
Have you seen her nipples? Are they red or dry/scaley? I have seen a few
women with eczema on their nipples that is quite painful.
