Hi Jackie,
I am a little behind on my posts so this may be too late.
A bleb tends to have the pain focused at that sight and just behind it. If
she doesn't describe burning pain I would not assume yeast.
I worked with one mom who had a reccurrent bleb. The OB opened it with a
sterile needle then used an instrument for blocked tear ducts to prob the
opening and she found relief and as far as I have heard has not reoccured. I
then had the mom use an antibotic ointment on the nipple, such as Bactroban
BID.
Good luck.
