Hi everyone
PTP
Very brief meeting, mum with 21 month old breastfed daughter, no other children, has numb breasts.
She says it has been whole time since starting to breastfeed. Only on breast, on skin, not inside breast (as far as she could tell), can't feel anything. Not numb on/in any other part of her body or ever before. While with me she pinched herself and said "I can't feel this!".
Any ideas??
Daughter loves breastfeeding, no biting, breastfeeding is great except for this has started worrying her. Checked about breastpads, soap, shampoos etc. Nothing stands out. Doctor recently suggested she try to talk to other breastfeeding mothers or breastfeeding counsellor.
My thoughts currently are nerve damage or possibly psychological reason.
Thanks in anticipation for your knowledge and/or experience.
