I have a mom who is nursing her 3rd child who is 7 wks.  She is complaining about sharp pains on the side and underneath her breasts.  She gets them before, during and after nursing.  She had it with her other 2 children, but not as bad as now.

No thrush - everything else is fine -  no engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis or lumps.  Could it be that she has more sensation when her ducts are filling and emptying with milk?  I have told her to go to her OB to check out her breasts for any other abnormalities.

Any ideas?
