Are you using 1/2 to 1 cup of distilled white vinegar (and nothing else)
in the last rinse when bras, towels etc. are in wash, and no softener
sheets  in dryer? Odor is gone after clothes come out of dryer! From
personal and professional experience, I think it's well worth trying, and
waiting 48 hours to see if the problem resolves. Can't harm a thing to
try!

All it takes is a few clothes too many for a load, or a tablespoon too
much detergent, or a change in the manufacturer's formula for your
favorite softener, or someone else helping with the laundry to create
enough residue for perspiration, breast milk etc. to reactivate and
irritate nerve ends in the skin, nipple or elsewhere.

I recommend a good trial before or if not complete relief,  along WITH
other measures.
