Hi Sonya,
I know you are getting some differing opinions but I am leaning towards
bacterial infection in the breast tissue or ducts due to the continued pain
and:
<<had cracked and bleeding nipples in the first week,>>
and << the mom did have a slight fever when she went in to
her provider with the cracked nipples during that first week>>
I believe Dr. Anne Eglash posted within the last few weeks on this. You
could search for that post in our archives.
