Hi! This is my fist message to LACNET after reading the post for a few
months.  I am a IBCLC,  childbirth educator, and work in Public Health
as a supervisor and WIC Lactation Consultant.  I  have  been working
with a Mom who has 2 month old twins.  She was doing great with them
until she broke her elbow rollerblading, and also developed a nipple
blister.  States the pain is terrible!! Do you know if these "nipple
blisters" are more common with twins.  We tried hot compresses and
having the baby nurse.  She had it opened by a healthcare professional.
Relief for a while, but they came back.  She now has Mastitis and the
blisters.  She lives out of town and was here visiting when I saw her.
Another LC thought it might be thrush , but the doctor did not.  Does
anyone know if something can be done with these nipple blisters?  Her
Mastitis is being treated.  Please post to net or to my E-mail.  She
really wants to keep nursing!!  Thanks for any help.  Nancy Heyns -
