Linda Pincus asked about a mother who:

in from

>from above breast to the lower margins of  breast.  Other breast is

>done however).. Nipple is always deep pink in color.  Prior to two months
>ago, she states she has had no such problem."

I have a somewhat similar problem for your consideration.  Baby is 6 months
old - early problems with maternal intake of milk plus a short consult to
teach normal management to a nervous mom - lots of phone support through
Pediatrician pushing to start solids quite early and sleep issues.

Two weeks ago baby bite her hard, no skin broken but felt very bruised.
Since then she has continued to be sore when nursing - now has deeper breast
pain too.  No changes in breast warmth.  No systemic mastitis symptoms.
Nipple tip now blanched (this is new) after nursing.  I'm thinking local
swelling after the bite caused milk stasis followed by mastitis.  Baby
continues to nurse, breast is not engorged.

Any other thoughts?
