>Has anyone seen or is it possible for a Candida infection to show up first on
>the mom's nipples?

Yes, Kris,
Candida may be present elsewhere (vagina, baby mouth) as a commensal, that
is it lives there happily without causing any problems. But then if it is
transferred to the nipple (usually from the baby's mouth), esp if nipple has
been damaged, it can cause inflammation and pain. Often not much to see on
the nipple.
I would agree with other posts and start to treat her and the baby for
thrush, as well as continuing to work on improving postitioning.

Any lactnetters heading to Hobart for Australian Lactation Consultants
National conference? I'll be saving a table at the Boardwalk for casual
dinner on Friday evening at 6.30pm. See you there.

P.S. The baby rabbits now have fur, one has opened her eyes, and are
obviously thriving on two feeds from mother rabbit each day.
