I am hoping someone can help. I have 2 moms in a similar situation.
Mom A has a 6 week old baby who is gaining beautifully. She has
excruciating stabbing pain AFTER she nurses, sometimes starting 1/2 an hour
later. It is so bad she is ready to give up. She does not have pain while
she nurses, and it is only on one side. She has nursed 4 other children
with no problems. Basically when I saw her, she did not have one specific
white dot like a typical bleb, but a cluster of white on about 1/4 of the
nipple. You do not feel any clogs in the breast. I had sent her to a
dermatologist, who tried to pop with no success. I had recommended olive
oil, and gently trying to rub with a washcloth, in addition to Dr. trying
with needle. I also told her to take Lecithin. Nothing has helped. What
now?
Mom B has exact same symptoms. Her baby is 8 weeks, also gaining very well,
also terrible pain only on one side, and also only after nursing. Latch
fine. She said she had a bleb although she did not know what it was. Now
there is no visible bleb, and I do not feel any plug of any duct in the
breast. She does not get the terrible pain after pumping for some reason.
I am really stumped as to how to precede on these. We have ruled out latch
or positioning, thrush, etc. What now? They are both suffering terribly.
Thanks,
