You might ask the Mom if she has a history of or symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection that she may have spread to her nipples; was it really the swimming or has she been lounging at the pool or beach in a wet bathingsuit? We see this here in Florida. My first experience with it was when I worked with my son's swim coach some years back. She and baby had yeast almost immediately after her son was born. She reported red, angry, nipples through most of her pregnancy and very frequent vaginal yeast all her swim-coaching-long-hours-in-a-damp-bathing-suit-life. Just a thought.
