Hi Sonya,

Great history on this mom/baby. So sorry she is in so much pain. Here's

what I would recommend:

Treat for bacterial infection; it is usually staph. However, one might

also culture the milk with a clean catch 

specimen, and culture the reddened skin.

Re-visit the tongue-tie issue. Possibly clipping needs to be revised.

Try "laid back" breastfeeding, where the chin and tongue are more

forward.

Consider CST or chiropractic adjustments which can make things align

functionally and have any nerve impingement

addressed.

Alternatively, the mom could have an allergy to some ingredient she has

been using. I think the tongue-tie started the pain

but an allergy could have definitely made things much worse. In this

case, just the hydrocortisone should help.
